Preface College Trigonometry, Sixth Edition builds on the strong pedagogical features of the previous edition. Always with an eye toward supporting student success, we have increased our emphasis on conceptual understanding, quantitative reasoning, and applications.

Applications We have retained our basic philosophy, which is to deliver a comprehensive and mathematically sound treatment of the topics considered essential for a college algebra course. To help students master these concepts, we have maintained a dynamic balance among theory, application, modeling, and drill. Carefully developed mathematics is complemented by abundant, relevant, and contemporary applications, many of which feature real data and tables, graphs, and charts. Ever mindful of the motivating influence that contemporary and appropriate applications have on students, we have included many new application exercises from a wide range of disciplines, and in new formats. For example, a new Quantitative Reasoning feature is found at the end of each chapter. Students are urged to investigate concepts and apply those concepts to a variety of contexts while testing the reasonableness of their answers. Applications require students to use problem-solving strategies and newly learned skills to solve practical problems, demonstrating the value of algebra. Many application exercises are accompanied by a diagram that helps students visualize the mathematics of the application.

Technology Technology is introduced very naturally to illustrate or enhance conceptual understanding of appropriate topics. We integrate technology into a discussion when it can be used to foster and promote better understanding of a concept. The optional graphing calculator exercises, optional Integrating Technology boxes, and optional Exploring Concepts with Technology features are designed to instill in students an appreciation for both the power and limitations of technology. Optional Modeling sections, which use real data, rely heavily on the use of a graphing calculator, and serve to motivate students, are incorporated throughout the text.

Aufmann Interactive Method (AIM) By incorporating many interactive learning techniques, including the key features outlined below, College Trigonometry helps students to understand concepts, work independently, and obtain greater mathematical fluency. ■

Try Exercise references follow all worked examples. This feature encourages students to test their understanding by working an exercise similar to the worked example. An icon and a page reference are given below the example, making it easy for the student to navigate to the suggested exercise and back. The complete solution to the Try Exercise can be found in the Solutions to the Try Exercises appendix. This interaction among the examples, the Try Exercises, the Solutions to the Try Exercises, and the exercise sets serves as a checkpoint for students as they read the text, do their homework, and study a section.

Trigonometry and Indir ect Measurement

In Chapter 2 we used trigonometric functions to find the unknown length of a side of a given right triang le. In this chapter we develop theorems that can be used to find the length of a side or the measure of an angle of any triang le, even if it is not a Hurricane right triangle. These theor ems are often used in the areas of navigation, surveying, and building design. Meter ologists use these theorems to estim ate the distance from an appro aching hurricane to cities in the projected path of the hurri cane. For instance, in the diagram on the left, the distance from the hurricane to Nags Head can be deter mined Sines, a theorem prese using the Law of nted in this chapter. See Exercises 30 and 31 on page 299 for addit ional applications that solved by using the Law can be of Sines.

31. CHOOSING A GOLF STRATEGY The following diagram shows two ways to play a golf hole. One is to hit the ball down the fairway on your first shot and then hit an approach shot to the green on your second shot. A second way is to hit directly toward the pin. Due to the water hazard, this is a more risky strategy. The distance AB is 165 yards, BC is 155 yards, and angle A 苷 42.0⬚. Find the distance AC from the tee directly to the pin. Assume that angle B is an obtuse angle.

Applications demonstrate to students the value of algebra and cover topics from a wide variety of disciplines— including agriculture, business, chemistry, construction, earth sciences, economics, education, manufacturing, medicine, nutrition, real estate, and sociology. Besides providing motivation to study mathematics, applications assist students in developing good problem-solving skills.

Projects MEDIAN–MEDIAN LINE Another linear model of data is called the median–median line. This line employs summary points calculated using the medians of subsets of the independent and dependent variables. The median of a data set is the middle number or the average of the two middle numbers for a data set arranged in numerical order. For instance, to find the median of 兵8, 12, 6, 7, 9其, first arrange the data in numerical order.

(If the set cannot be divided into three equal groups, the first and third groups should be equal. For instance, if there are 11 data points, divide the set into groups of 4, 3, and 4.) The slope of the median – median line is the slope of the line through the x-medians and y-medians of the first and third sets of points. The median – median line passes through the average of the x-and y-medians of all three sets. A graphing calculator can be used to find the equation of

Projects are designed to engage the student in mathematics. At the end of each section, students are asked to do one or more of the following types of projects: –solve a more involved application problem –investigate a concept in greater depth –write a proof of a statement With some projects, students are asked to chronicle the procedure used to solve it, and to suggest an extension to the project. These projects are ideal candidates for small group assignments.

Chapter 4

Optional Exploring Concepts with Technology problems extend ideas from the chapter, encouraging students to use calculators or computers to investigate solutions to computationally unpleasant problems. In this way, calculators and computers have expanded the limits of the types of problems that can be solved at this level. In addition, students are challenged to think about the pitfalls of computational solutions.

Applications of Trigonometry

Exploring Concepts with Technology Optimal Branching of Arteries The physiologist Jean Louis Poiseuille (1799–1869) developed several laws concerning the flow of blood. One of his laws states that the resistance R of a blood vessel of length l and radius r is given by

For the population/sports team data, r 2 ⬇ 0.87. This means that approximately 87% of the total variation in the dependent variable (number of teams) can be attributed to the state population. This also means that population alone does not predict with certainty the number of sports teams. Other factors, such as climate, are also involved in the number of sports teams. QUESTION

y

What is the coefficient of determination for the odometer reading/ trade-in value data (see page 99), and what is its significance?

Quadratic Regression Models To this point our focus has been linear regression equations. However, there may be a nonlinear relationship between two quantities. The scatter diagram to the left suggests that a quadratic function might be a better model of the data than a linear model. x Nonlinear correlation between x and y.

ANSWER

r 2 ⬇ 0.964. This means that about 96.4% of the total variation in trade-in value can be attributed to the odometer reading.

Question/Answer In each section, the authors pose at least one question that encourages students to pause and think about the concepts presented in the current discussion.

In 1965, Lawrence Roberts connected two computers, one at MIT and one at UCLA, using a telephone line. This computer connection was the first demonstration of the feasibility of computer networks and led to the eventual establishment of the Internet, first known as ARPANET after the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), a group founded by the Department of Defense. Originally, ARPANET connected computers at four universities: the University of California, Los Angeles; Stanford University; the University of California, Santa Barbara; and the University of Utah. The first message was sent from UCLA to Stanford in 1969. To expand the Internet, computer programs had to be written that allowed the interaction of many computers. This set of programs, called protocols, was created by Robert Kahn and Vint Cerf. The programs were called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). TCP/IP was universally adopted in 1983 and is still used today to control communication among computers on the Internet. A rough analog to TCP/IP programs is our telephone system. Each telephone has a unique telephone number. Similarly, each computer on the Internet has a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address. TCP programs are similar to telephone services such as call waiting and caller ID. They enable a computer to know when other computers are trying to communicate with it, and what kind of communication is incoming. In 1991, British physicist Tim Berners-Lee developed a program that allowed physicists to exchange information in an efficient manner. His creation was called the World Wide Web. Two functions that can be performed using the Internet and the World Wide Web are credit card purchases and banking transactions. These transactions must be carried out in a secure mode using programs that encrypt credit card numbers and bank account numbers. One method of encryption makes use of a modular function and the inverse of that function. Modular functions are discussed in the Quantitative Reasoning feature on page 114. A basic example of the use of inverse functions to encrypt and decrypt messages is given in Exercise 59 on page 93.

The Real Numbers The real numbers are used extensively in mathematics. The set of real numbers is quite comprehensive and contains several unique sets of numbers. The integers are the set of numbers 兵. . . , 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, . . .其 Recall that the brace symbols, 兵其, are used to identify a set. The positive integers are called natural numbers. a The rational numbers are the set of numbers of the form , where a and b b 3 5 are integers and b 苷 0. Thus the rational numbers include and . Because 4 2 a each integer can be expressed in the form with denominator b 苷 1, the inteb gers are included in the set of rational numbers. Every rational number can be written as either a terminating or a repeating decimal. A number written in decimal form that does not repeat or terminate is called an irrational number. Some examples of irrational numbers are 0.141141114..., 兹2, and p. These numbers cannot be expressed as quotients of integers. The set of real numbers is the union of the sets of rational and irrational numbers. A real number can be represented geometrically on a coordinate axis called a real number line. Each point on this line is associated with a real number called the coordinate of the point. Conversely, each real number can be associated with 7 a point on a real number line. In Figure 1.1, the coordinate of A is , the coor2 dinate of B is 0, and the coordinate of C is 兹2. Given any two real numbers a and b, we say that a is less than b, denoted by a b, if a b is a negative number. Similarly, we say that a is greater than b, denoted by a b, if a b is a positive number. When a equals b, a b is zero. The symbols and are called inequality symbols. Two other inequality symbols, (less than or equal to) and (greater than or equal to), are also used. The inequality symbols can be used to designate sets of real numbers. If a b, the interval notation 共a, b兲 is used to indicate the set of real numbers between a and b. This set of numbers also can be described using set-builder notation: 共a, b兲苷兵x 兩 a x b其

take note The interval notation 关1, 兲 represents all real numbers greater than or equal to 1. The interval notation 共, 4兲 represents all real numbers less than 4.

When reading a set written in set-builder notation, we read 兵x兩 as “the set of x such that.” The expression that follows the vertical bar designates the elements in the set. The set 共a, b兲 is called an open interval. The graph of the open interval consists of all the points on the real number line between a and b, not including a and b. A closed interval, denoted by 关a, b兴, consists of all points between a and b, including a and b. We can also discuss half-open intervals. An example of each type of interval is shown in Figure 1.2.

The absolute value of a real number is a measure of the distance from zero to the point associated with the number on a real number line. Therefore, the absolute value of a real number is always positive or zero. We now give a more formal definition of absolute value.

17 are all solutions of x 4. 3 The solution set of the inequality can be written in set-builder notation as 兵x 兩 x 4其 or in interval notation as 共4, 兲. Equivalent inequalities have the same solution set. We solve an inequality by producing simpler but equivalent inequalities until the solutions are found. To produce these simpler but equivalent inequalities, we apply the following properties. value of x greater than 4. For instance, 5, 兹21, and

Properties of Inequalities Let a, b, and c be real numbers. 1. Addition Property Adding the same real number to each side of an inequality preserves the direction of the inequality symbol. a b and a c b c are equivalent inequalities. 2. Multiplication Properties a. Multiplying each side of an inequality by the same positive real number preserves the direction of the inequality symbol. If c 0, then a b and ac bc are equivalent inequalities. b. Multiplying each side of an inequality by the same negative real number changes the direction of the inequality symbol. If c 0, then a b and ac bc are equivalent inequalities.

Note the difference between Property 2a and Property 2b. Property 2a states that an equivalent inequality is produced when each side of a given inequality is multiplied by the same positive real number and that the direction of the inequality symbol is not changed. By contrast, Property 2b states that when each side of a given inequality is multiplied by a negative real number, we must reverse the direction of the inequality symbol to produce an equivalent inequality. For instance, 2b 6 and b 3 are equivalent inequalities. (We multiplied 1 each side of the first inequality by , and we changed the “less than” symbol 2 to a “greater than” symbol.) Because subtraction is defined in terms of addition, subtracting the same real number from each side of an inequality does not change the direction of the inequality symbol. Because division is defined in terms of multiplication, dividing each side of an inequality by the same positive real number does not change the direction of the inequality symbol, and dividing each side of an inequality by a negative real number changes the direction of the inequality symbol.

Solving Inequalities by the Critical Value Method Any value of x that causes a polynomial in x to equal zero is called a zero of the polynomial. For example, 4 and 1 are both zeros of the polynomial x 2 3x 4, because 共4兲2 3共4兲 4 苷 0 and 12 3 1 4 苷 0. A Sign Property of Polynomials Nonzero polynomials in x have the property that for any value of x between two consecutive real zeros, either all values of the polynomial are positive or all values of the polynomial are negative. In our work with inequalities that involve polynomials, the real zeros of the polynomial are also referred to as critical values of the inequality, because on a number line they separate the real numbers that make the inequality true from those that make it false. In Example 6 we use critical values and the sign property of polynomials to solve an inequality. EXAMPLE 6

Cartesian Coordinate Systems take note Abscissa comes from the same root word as scissors. An open pair of scissors looks like an x.

Math Matters The concepts of analytic geometry developed over an extended period of time, culminating in 1637 with the publication of two works: Discourse on the Method for Rightly Directing One’s Reason and Searching for Truth in the Sciences by Ren´e Descartes (1596–1650) and Introduction to Plane and Solid Loci by Pierre de Fermat. Each of these works was an attempt to integrate the study of geometry with the study of algebra. Of the two mathematicians, Descartes is usually given most of the credit for developing analytic geometry. In fact, Descartes became so famous in La Haye, the city in which he was born, that it was renamed La Haye-Descartes.

Each point on a coordinate axis is associated with a number called its coordinate. Each point on a flat, two-dimensional surface, called a coordinate plane or xy-plane, is associated with an ordered pair of numbers called coordinates of the point. Ordered pairs are denoted by 共a, b兲, where the real number a is the x-coordinate or abscissa and the real number b is the y-coordinate or ordinate. The coordinates of a point are determined by the point’s position relative to a horizontal coordinate axis called the x-axis and a vertical coordinate axis called the y-axis. The axes intersect at the point 共0, 0兲, called the origin. In Figure 1.12, the axes are labeled such that positive numbers appear to the right of the origin on the x-axis and above the origin on the y-axis. The four regions formed by the axes are called quadrants and are numbered counterclockwise. This two-dimensional coordinate system is referred to as a Cartesian coordinate system in honor of René Descartes.

The point whose coordinates are approximately (2005, 520) means that in the year 2005, approximately $520 million in revenues were generated by companies that supplied this software.

The Cartesian coordinate system makes it possible to combine the concepts of algebra and geometry into a branch of mathematics called analytic geometry. The distance between two points on a horizontal line is the absolute value of the difference between the x-coordinates of the two points. The distance between two points on a vertical line is the absolute value of the difference between the y-coordinates of the two points. For example, as shown in Figure 1.15, the distance d between the points with coordinates 共1, 2兲 and 共1, 3兲 is d 苷兩2 共3兲兩苷 5. If two points are not on a horizontal or vertical line, then a distance formula for the distance between the two points can be developed as follows. The distance between the points P1共x1, y1 兲 and P2共x2, y2 兲 in Figure 1.16 is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose sides are horizontal and vertical line segments that measure 兩x2 x1兩 and 兩y2 y1兩, respectively.

Math Matters Maria Agnesi (1718–1799) wrote Foundations of Analysis for the Use of Italian Youth, one of the most successful textbooks of the 18th century. The French Academy authorized a translation into French in 1749, noting that “there is no other book, in any language, which would enable a reader to penetrate as deeply, or as rapidly, into the fundamental concepts of analysis.” A curve that she discusses in her text is given by the equation a3 y苷 2 . x a2 Unfortunately, due to a translation error from Italian to English, the curve became known as the “witch of Agnesi.” y

The solution of an equation in two variables is an ordered pair 共x, y兲 whose coordinates satisfy the equation. For instance, the ordered pairs 共3, 4兲, 共4, 3兲, and 共0, 5兲 are some of the solutions of x 2 y 2 苷 25. Generally, there are an infinite number of solutions of an equation in two variables. These solutions can be displayed in a graph. Definition of the Graph of an Equation The graph of an equation in the two variables x and y is the set of all points (x, y) whose coordinates satisfy the equation. Consider y 苷 2x 1. Substituting various values of x into the equation and solving for y produces some of the ordered pairs that satisfy the equation. It is convenient to record the results in a table similar to the one shown below. The graph of the ordered pairs is shown in Figure 1.18. y 2x 1

For instance, entering y1 苷 x 2 1, an initial value of x of 2, and an increment of 1 yields a display similar to the one in Figure 1.22.

Integrating Technology A graphing calculator or computer graphing software can be used to draw the graphs in Examples 3 and 4. These graphing utilities graph a curve in much the same way as you would, by selecting values of x and calculating the corresponding values of y. A curve is then drawn through the points. If you use a graphing utility to graph y 苷兩x 2兩, you will need to use the absolute value function that is built into the utility. The equation you enter will look similar to Y1=abs(X–2). To graph the equation in Example 4, you will enter two equations. The equations you enter will be similar to Y1=兹 (X) Y2=–兹 (X) The graph of the first equation will be the top half of the parabola; the graph of the second equation will be the bottom half.

Intercepts Any point that has an x- or a y-coordinate of zero is called an intercept of the graph of an equation because it is at these points that the graph intersects the x- or the y-axis. Definitions of x-Intercepts and y-Intercepts If 共x1, 0兲 satisfies an equation, then the point 共x1, 0兲 is called an x-intercept of the graph of the equation. If 共0, y1 兲 satisfies an equation, then the point 共0, y1 兲 is called a y-intercept of the graph of the equation.

To find the x-intercepts of the graph of an equation, let y 苷 0 and solve the equation for x. To find the y-intercepts of the graph of an equation, let x 苷 0 and solve the equation for y.

Circles, Their Equations, and Their Graphs Frequently you will sketch graphs by plotting points. However, some graphs can be sketched merely by recognizing the form of the equation. A circle is an example of a curve whose graph you can sketch after you have inspected its equation.

Definition of a Circle A circle is the set of points in a plane that are a fixed distance from a specified point. The fixed distance is the radius of the circle, and the specified point is the center of the circle.

The standard form of the equation of a circle is derived by using this definition. To derive the standard form, we use the distance formula. Figure 1.27 is a

The graph in Figure 1.30 defines a correspondence between the length of a pendulum and the time it takes the pendulum to complete one oscillation. For each nonnegative pendulum length, the graph yields only one time. According to the graph, a pendulum length of 2 feet yields an oscillation time of 1.6 seconds, and a length of 4 feet yields an oscillation time of 2.2 seconds, where the time is measured to the nearest tenth of a second. These results can be recorded as the ordered pairs 共2, 1.6兲 and 共4, 2.2兲. Graph: A pendulum's oscillation time y 2.5 Time (in seconds)

Table 1.1

In many situations in science, business, and mathematics, a correspondence exists between two sets. The correspondence is often defined by a table, an equation, or a graph, each of which can be viewed from a mathematical perspective as a set of ordered pairs. In mathematics, any set of ordered pairs is called a relation. Table 1.1 defines a correspondence between a set of percent scores and a set of letter grades. For each score from 0 to 100, there corresponds only one letter grade. The score 94% corresponds to the letter grade of A. Using ordered-pair notation, we record this correspondence as 共94, A兲. The equation d 苷 16t 2 indicates that the distance d that a rock falls (neglecting air resistance) corresponds to the time t that it has been falling. For each nonnegative value t, the equation assigns only one value for the distance d. According to this equation, in 3 seconds a rock will fall 144 feet, which we record as 共3, 144兲. Some of the other ordered pairs determined by d 苷 16t 2 are 共0, 0兲, 共1, 16兲, 共2, 64兲, and 共2.5, 100兲.

Functions and Graphs

Math Matters It is generally agreed among historians that Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) was the first person to use the word function. His definition of function occurs in his book Introduction to Analysis of the Infinite, published in 1748. Euler contributed to many areas of mathematics and was one of the most prolific expositors of mathematics.

Definition of a Function A function is a set of ordered pairs in which no two ordered pairs have the same first coordinate and different second coordinates.

Although every function is a relation, not every relation is a function. For instance, consider 共94, A兲 from the grading correspondence. The first coordinate, 94, is paired with a second coordinate of A. It would not make sense to have 94 paired with A, 共94, A兲, and 94 paired with B, 共94, B兲. The same first coordinate would be paired with two different second coordinates. This would mean that two students with the same score received different grades, one student an A and the other a B! Functions may have ordered pairs with the same second coordinate. For instance, 共94, A兲 and 共95, A兲 are both ordered pairs that belong to the function defined by Table 1.1. A function may have different first coordinates and the same second coordinate. The equation d 苷 16t 2 represents a function because for each value of t there is only one value of d. Not every equation, however, represents a function. For instance, y 2 苷 25 x 2 does not represent a function. The ordered pairs 共3, 4兲 and 共3, 4兲 are both solutions of the equation. However, these ordered pairs do not satisfy the definition of a function: there are two ordered pairs with the same first coordinate but different second coordinates. QUESTION

Does the set 兵共0, 0兲, 共1, 0兲, 共2, 0兲, 共3, 0兲, 共4, 0兲其 define a function?

The domain of a function is the set of all the first coordinates of the ordered pairs. The range of a function is the set of all the second coordinates. In the function determined by the grading correspondence in Table 1.1, the domain is the interval 关0, 100兴. The range is 兵A, B, C, D, F其. In a function, each domain element is paired with one and only one range element. If a function is defined by an equation, the variable that represents elements of the domain is the independent variable. The variable that represents elements of the range is the dependent variable. For the free-fall of a rock situation, we used the equation d 苷 16t 2. The elements of the domain represented the time the rock fell, and the elements of the range represented the distance the rock fell. Thus, in d 苷 16t 2, the independent variable is t and the dependent variable is d. The specific letters used for the independent and dependent variables are not important. For example, y 苷 16x 2 represents the same function as d 苷 16t 2. Traditionally, x is used for the independent variable and y for the dependent variable. Anytime we use the phrase “y is a function of x” or a similar phrase with different letters, the variable that follows “function of” is the independent variable.

ANSWER

Yes. There are no two ordered pairs with the same first coordinate and different second coordinates.

Function Notation Functions can be named by using a letter or a combination of letters, such as f, g, A, log, or tan. If x is an element of the domain of f, then f共x兲, which is read “f of x” or “the value of f at x,” is the element in the range of f that corresponds to the domain element x. The notation “f” and the notation “f共x兲” mean different things. “f” is the name of the function, whereas “f共x兲” is the value of the function at x. Finding the value of f共x兲 is referred to as evaluating f at x. To evaluate f共x兲 at x 苷 a, substitute a for x and simplify.

Although f and h have the same equation, they are different functions because they have different domains. If the domain of a function is not explicitly stated, then its domain is determined by the following convention.

Integrating Technology A graphing utility can be used to draw the graph of a function. For instance, to graph f共x兲苷 x 2 1, enter the equation Y1=x2–1. The graph is shown in Figure 1.37.

The domain is the union of the inequalities x 1 and x 1. Thus the domain of n is the set of all real numbers. For x 1, graph n共x兲苷 2. This results in the horizontal ray in Figure 1.36. The solid circle indicates that the point 共1, 2兲 is part of the graph. For x 1, graph n共x兲苷 x. This produces the second ray in Figure 1.36. The open circle indicates that the point 共1, 1兲 is not part of the graph. Examination of the graph shows that it includes only points whose y values are greater than 1. Thus the range of n is 兵 y 兩 y 1其.

Consider the graph in Figure 1.40. As a point on the graph moves from left to right, this graph falls for values of x 2, remains the same height from x 苷 2 to x 苷 2, and rises for x 2. The function represented by the graph is said to be decreasing on the interval 共, 2兴, constant on the interval 关2, 2兴, and increasing on the interval 关2, 兲.

Recall that a function is a relation in which no two ordered pairs that have the same first coordinate have different second coordinates. This means that given any x, there is only one y that can be paired with that x. A one-to-one function satisfies the additional condition that given any y, there is only one x that can be paired with that given y. In a manner similar to applying the vertical line test, we can apply a horizontal line test to identify one-to-one functions.

Horizontal Line Test for a One-To-One Function If every horizontal line intersects the graph of a function at most once, then the graph is the graph of a one-to-one function.

For example, some horizontal lines intersect the graph in Figure 1.41 at more than one point. It is not the graph of a one-to-one function. Every horizontal line intersects the graph in Figure 1.42 at most once. This is the graph of a one-toone function.

The Greatest Integer Function (Floor Function) take note The greatest integer function is an important function that is often used in advanced mathematics and computer science.

The graphs of some functions do not have any breaks or gaps. These functions, whose graphs can be drawn without lifting the pencil off the paper, are called continuous functions. The graphs of other functions do have breaks or discontinuities. One such function is the greatest integer function or floor function. This function is denoted by various symbols such as 冀x冁, ⎣x⎦ , and int共x兲. The value of the greatest integer function at x is the greatest integer that is less than or equal to x. For instance, ⎣1.1⎦ 苷 2

The graph of the floor function has discontinuities (breaks) whenever x is an integer. The domain of the floor function is the set of real numbers; the range is the set of integers. Because the graph appears to be a series of steps, sometimes the floor function is referred to as a step function.

Integrating Technology Many graphing calculators use the notation int共x兲 for the floor function. The screens below are from a TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus graphing calculator. The graph in Figure 1.44 was drawn in “connected” mode. This graph does not show the discontinuities that occur whenever x is an integer. The graph in Figure 1.45 was constructed by graphing the floor function in “dot” mode. In this case the discontinuities at the integers are apparent. 5

Introduction to Functions

Thus the interest charge is $3.57. Note that the result was rounded to the nearest cent, or hundredth. The computer program that determines the interest charge uses the floor function to calculate the rounding. To round a number N to the nearest kth decimal place, we use the following formula.

take note Observe the effect of adding 0.5. In this case, it increases the units digit that will occupy the

Here is the calculation for the interest owed. In this case, N 苷 237.84 0.015 and k 苷 2 (round to the second decimal place). int[10 2(237.84 0.015) 0.5] 10 2 int[100(3.5676) 0.5] 苷 100 int[356.76 0.5] 苷 100 int[357.26] 苷 100 357 苷苷 3.57 100

Now suppose that the monthly balance was $237.57. Then 100(237.57 0.015) 0.5 is 356.355 0.5 苷 356.855. In this case, the units digit is not changed and the final interest charge is $3.56.

Integrating Technology The function graphed in Example 7 is an example of a function for which a graphing calculator may not produce a graph that is a good representation of the function. You may be required to make adjustments in the MODE, SET UP, or WINDOW of the graphing calculator so that it will produce a better representation of the function. A graph may also require some fine tuning, such as open or solid circles at particular points, to accurately represent the function.

Integrating Technology A graphing calculator can be used to draw the graphs of a family of functions. For instance, f共x兲苷 x 2 c constitutes a family of functions with parameter c. The only feature of the graph that changes is the value of c. A graphing calculator can be used to produce the graphs of a family of curves for specific values of the parameter. The LIST feature of the calculator can be used. For instance, to graph f共x兲苷 x 2 c for c 苷 2, 0, and 1, we will create a list and use that list to produce the family of curves.

Some graphs of functions can be constructed by using a combination of translations and reflections. For instance, the graph of y 苷 f共x兲 3 in Figure 1.72 was obtained by reflecting the graph of y 苷 f共x兲 in Figure 1.72 across the x-axis and then shifting that graph up vertically 3 units.

Figure 1.73

The graph of the equation y 苷 c f共x兲 for c 苷 1 vertically compresses or stretches the graph of y 苷 f共x兲. To determine the points on the graph of y 苷 c f共x兲, multiply the y-coordinate of each point on the graph of y 苷 f共x兲 by c. For example, 1 Figure 1.73 shows that the graph of y 苷兩x兩 can be obtained by plotting points 2 that have a y-coordinate that is one-half of the y-coordinate of those points that make up the graph of y 苷兩x兩. If 0 c 1, then the graph of y 苷 c f共x兲 is obtained by compressing the graph of y 苷 f共x兲. Figure 1.73 illustrates the vertical compressing of the graph of y 苷兩x兩 1 y y = 2| x| toward the x-axis to form the graph of y 苷兩x兩. 2 4 If c 1, then the graph of y 苷 c f共x兲 is obtained by stretching the graph of y 苷 f共x兲. For example, if f共x兲苷兩x兩, then we obtain the graph of 2 y = | x|

y 苷 2f共x兲苷 2兩x兩 by stretching the graph of f away from the x-axis. See Figure 1.74.

The y-coordinates of the ordered pairs 共0, 0兲, 共4, 1兲, and 共4, 1兲 are obtained by multiplying the y-coordinates of the ordered pairs 1 共0, 0兲, 共4, 4兲, and 共4, 4兲 by . To find the points on the graph of H, we still 4 need to subtract 3 from each y-coordinate. Thus the graph of H is a V shape that has its lowest point at 共0, 3兲 and passes through 共4, 2兲 and 共4, 2兲.

can be used to compute average velocities. In such cases it is traditional to replace f with s (for distance), the variable x with the variable a (for the time at the start of an observed interval of time), and the variable h with t (read as “delta t”), where t is the difference between the time at the end of an interval and the time at the start of the interval. For example, if an experiment is observed over the time interval from t 苷 3 seconds to t 苷 5 seconds, then the time interval is denoted as 关3, 5兴 with a 苷 3 and t 苷 5 3 苷 2. Thus if the distance traveled by a ball that rolls down a ramp is given by s共t兲, where t is the time in seconds after the ball is released (see Figure 1.80), then the average velocity of the ball over the interval t 苷 a to t 苷 a t is the difference quotient s共a t兲 s共a兲 t

Composition of Functions Composition of functions is another way in which functions can be combined. This method of combining functions uses the output of one function as the input for a second function. Suppose that the spread of oil from a leak in a tanker can be approximated by a circle with the tanker at its center. The radius r (in feet) of the spill t hours after the leak begins is given by r共t兲苷 150兹t. The area of the spill is the area of a circle and is given by the formula A共r兲苷 pr 2. To find the area of the spill 4 hours after the leak begins, we first find the radius of the spill and then use that number to find the area of the spill. r共t兲苷 150兹t r共4兲苷 150兹4 苷 150共2兲苷 300

The area of the spill after 4 hours is approximately 283,000 square feet.

1.5

The Algebra of Functions

73

There is an alternative way to solve this problem. Because the area of the spill depends on the radius and the radius depends on the time, there is a relationship between area and time. We can determine this relationship by evaluating the formula for the area of a circle using r共t兲苷 150兹t. This will give the area of the spill as a function of time. A共r兲苷 pr 2 A关r共t兲兴苷 p关r共t兲兴 2 2 苷 p 关 150兹t 兴 A共t兲苷 22,500pt

• Replace r by r(t). • r(t) 150兹t • Simplify.

The area of the spill as a function of time is A共t兲苷 22,500pt. To find the area of the oil spill after 4 hours, evaluate this function at t 苷 4. A共t兲苷 22,500pt A共4兲苷 22,500p共4兲

In this case, g共2兲 is not in the domain of f. Thus the composition 共f ⴰ g兲共x兲 is not defined at 2.

The function defined by 共 f ⴰ g兲共x兲 is also called the composite of f and g. We read 共 f ⴰ g兲共x兲 as “f circle g of x” and f 关 g共x兲兴 as “f of g of x.” Consider the functions f共x兲苷 2x 1 and g共x兲苷 x 2 3. The expression 共 f ⴰ g兲共1兲 (or, equivalently, f 关 g共1兲兴) means to evaluate the function f at g共1兲. g共x兲苷 x 2 3 g共1兲苷共1兲2 3 g共1兲苷 2 f共x兲苷 2x 1 f [g共1兲] 苷 2[g共1兲] 1 f共2兲苷 2共2兲 1 苷 5

In general, the composition of functions is not a commutative operation. That is, 共 f ⴰ g兲共x兲苷共 g ⴰ f 兲共x兲. To verify this, we will compute the composition 共 g ⴰ f 兲共x兲苷 g关 f共x兲兴, again using the functions f共x兲苷 2x 1 and g共x兲苷 x 2 3. g共x兲苷 x 2 3 g关 f共x兲兴苷关 f共x兲兴 2 3 苷关2x 1兴 2 3 苷 4x 2 4x 2

Thus g关 f共x兲兴苷 4x 2 4x 2, which is not equal to f 关 g共x兲兴苷 2x 2 7. Therefore, 共 f ⴰ g兲共x兲苷共 g ⴰ f 兲共x兲 and composition is not a commutative operation. QUESTION

Chapter 1

Functions and Graphs Observe that the ordered pairs of g are the ordered pairs of f with the order of the coordinates reversed. The following two examples illustrate this concept.

take note In this section our primary interest concerns finding the inverse of a function; however, we can also find

g共10兲苷

the inverse of a relation. Recall that a relation r is any set of ordered pairs. The inverse of r is the set of ordered pairs formed

by reversing the order of the

g共2a兲苷

1 共2a兲苷 a 2

Ordered pair: (2a, a)

coordinates of the ordered pairs in r.

The function g is said to be the inverse function of f. Definition of an Inverse Function If the ordered pairs of a function g are the ordered pairs of a function f with the order of the coordinates reversed, then g is the inverse function of f.

Consider a function f and its inverse function g. Because the ordered pairs of g are the ordered pairs of f with the order of the coordinates reversed, the domain of the inverse function g is the range of f, and the range of g is the domain of f. Not all functions have an inverse that is a function. Consider, for instance, the “square function” S共x兲苷 x 2. Some of the ordered pairs of S are y 10 (−3, 9)

兵共3, 9兲, 共1, 1兲, 共0, 0兲, 共1, 1兲, 共3, 9兲, 共5, 25兲其 If we reverse the coordinates of the ordered pairs, we have

This set of ordered pairs is not a function because there are ordered pairs, for instance 共9, 3兲 and 共9, 3兲, with the same first coordinate and different second coordinates. In this case, S has an inverse relation but not an inverse function. A graph of S is shown in Figure 1.84. Note that x 苷 3 and x 苷 3 produce the same value of y. Thus the graph of S fails the horizontal line test, and therefore S is not a one-to-one function. This observation is used in the following theorem. Condition for an Inverse Function A function f has an inverse function if and only if f is a one-to-one function.

Recall that increasing functions and decreasing functions are one-to-one functions. Thus we can state the following theorem. Alternative Condition for an Inverse Function If f is an increasing or a decreasing function, then f has an inverse function.

ANSWER

The graph of f is the graph of an increasing function. Therefore, f is a one-toone function and has an inverse function. The graph of h is the graph of a decreasing function. Therefore, h is a one-to-one function and has an inverse function. The graph of g is not the graph of a one-to-one function. g does not have an inverse function.

Functions and Graphs The graph from the solution to Example 1 is shown again in Figure 1.87. Note that the graph of f 1 is symmetric to the graph of f with respect to the graph of y 苷 x. If the graph were folded along the dashed line, the graph of f would lie on top of the graph of f 1. This is a characteristic of all graphs of functions and their inverses. In Figure 1.88, although S does not have an inverse that is a function, the graph of the inverse relation S 1 is symmetric to S with respect to the graph of y 苷 x. y f

• Replace x by f (x).

This property of the composition of inverse functions always holds true. When taking the composition of inverse functions, the inverse function reverses the effect of the original function. For the two functions above, f doubles a number, and g halves a number. If you double a number and then take one-half of the result, you are back to the original number.

Integrating Technology In the standard viewing window of a calculator, the distance between two tick marks on the x-axis is not equal to the distance between two tick marks on the y-axis. As a result, the graph of y 苷 x does not appear to bisect the first and third quadrants. See Figure 1.89. This anomaly is important if a graphing calculator is being used to check whether two functions are inverses of one another. Because the graph of y 苷 x does not appear to bisect the first and third quadrants, the graphs of f and f 1 will not appear to be symmetric 1 about the graph of y 苷 x. The graphs of f共x兲苷 x 2 and f 1共x兲苷 3x 6 3 from Example 2 are shown in Figure 1.90. Notice that the graphs do not appear to be quite symmetric about the graph of y 苷 x.

To find the line that “best” approximates the data, regression analysis is used. This type of analysis produces the linear function whose graph is called the line of best fit or the least-squares regression line.2

Definition of the Least-Squares Regression Line The least-squares regression line is the line that minimizes the sum of the squares of the vertical deviations of all data points from the line.

To help understand this definition, consider the data set S 苷兵共1, 2兲, 共2, 3兲, 共3, 3兲,共4, 4兲, 共5, 7兲其 as shown in Figure 1.99. As we will show later, the least-squares line for this data set is y 苷 1.1x 0.5, also shown in Figure 1.99. If we evaluate this linear function at the x-coordinates of the data set S, we obtain the set of ordered pairs T 苷兵共1, 1.6兲, 共2, 2.7兲, 共3, 3.8兲,共4, 4.9兲, 共5, 6兲}. The vertical deviations are the differences between the y-coordinates in S and the y-coordinates in T. From the definition, we must calculate the sum of the squares of these deviations. 共2 1.6兲2 共3 2.7兲2 共3 3.8兲2 共4 4.9兲2 共7 6兲2 苷 2.7 Because y 苷 1.1x 0.5 is the least squares regression line, for no other line is the sum of the squares of the deviations less than 2.7. For instance, if we consider the equation y 苷 1.25x 0.75, which is the equation of the line through the two

The scatter diagram of a state’s population and the corresponding number of professional sports teams is shown in Figure 1.102, along with the graph of the regression line. Note that the slope of the regression line is positive. This indicates that as a state’s population increases, the number of teams increases. Note also that for these data the value of r on the regression calculation screen was positive, r ⬇ 0.9341.

The linear correlation coefficient r is a measure of how close the points of a data set can be modeled by a straight line. If r 苷 1, then the points of the data set can be modeled exactly by a straight line with negative slope. If r 苷 1, then the data set can be modeled exactly by a straight line with positive slope.

A researcher calculates a regression line to determine the relationship between two variables. The researcher wants to know whether a change in one variable produces a predictable change in the second variable. The value of r 2 tells the researcher the extent of that relationship.

Coefficient of Determination The coefficient of determination r 2 measures the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is explained by the regression line.

For the population/sports team data, r 2 ⬇ 0.87. This means that approximately 87% of the total variation in the dependent variable (number of teams) can be attributed to the state population. This also means that population alone does not predict with certainty the number of sports teams. Other factors, such as climate, are also involved in the number of sports teams. QUESTION

y

What is the coefficient of determination for the odometer reading/ trade-in value data (see page 99), and what is its significance?

Quadratic Regression Models To this point our focus has been linear regression equations. However, there may be a nonlinear relationship between two quantities. The scatter diagram to the left suggests that a quadratic function might be a better model of the data than a linear model. x Nonlinear correlation between x and y.

ANSWER

r 2 ⬇ 0.964. This means that about 96.4% of the total variation in trade-in value can be attributed to the odometer reading.

LinReg y=ax+b a=.6575174825 b=144.2727273 r2=.4193509866 r=.6475731515

In Example 2, we could have calculated the linear regression model for the data. The results are shown at the left. Note that the coefficient of determination for this calculation is approximately 0.419. Because this number is less than the coefficient of determination for the quadratic model, we choose a quadratic model of the data rather than a linear model. A final note: The regression line equation does not prove that the changes in the dependent variable are caused by the independent variable. For instance, suppose various cities throughout the United States were randomly selected and the numbers of gas stations (independent variable) and restaurants (dependent variable) were recorded in a table. If we calculated the regression equation for these data, we would find that r would be close to 1. However, this does not mean that gas stations cause restaurants to be built. The primary cause is that there are fewer gas stations and restaurants in cities with small populations and greater numbers of gas stations and restaurants in cities with large populations.

Topics for Discussion 1. What is the purpose of calculating the equation of a regression line? 2. Discuss the implications of the following correlation coefficients: r 苷 1, r 苷 0, and r 苷 1. 3. Discuss the coefficient of determination and what its value says about a data set. 4. What are the implications of r 2 苷 1 for a quadratic regression equation?

Distance is measured in megaparsecs (1 megaparsec equals 1.918 1019 miles), and velocity (called the recession velocity) is measured in kilometers per second. A negative velocity means the nebula is moving toward the Milky Way; a positive velocity means the nebula is moving away from the Milky Way. Recession Velocities

Projects MEDIAN–MEDIAN LINE Another linear model of data is called the median–median line. This line employs summary points calculated using the medians of subsets of the independent and dependent variables. The median of a data set is the middle number or the average of the two middle numbers for a data set arranged in numerical order. For instance, to find the median of 兵8, 12, 6, 7, 9其, first arrange the data in numerical order.

(If the set cannot be divided into three equal groups, the first and third groups should be equal. For instance, if there are 11 data points, divide the set into groups of 4, 3, and 4.) The slope of the median – median line is the slope of the line through the x-medians and y-medians of the first and third sets of points. The median – median line passes through the average of the x-and y-medians of all three sets. A graphing calculator can be used to find the equation of the median – median line. This line, along with the linear regression line, is shown in the next column for the data in the accompanying table. 1.

Exploring Concepts with Technology Graphing Piecewise Functions with a Graphing Calculator A graphing calculator can be used to graph piecewise functions by including as part of the function the interval on which each piece of the function is defined. The method is based on the fact that a graphing calculator “evaluates” inequalities. For purposes of this Exploration, we will use keystrokes for a TI-83/TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus calculator.

109

Exploring Concepts with Technology

For instance, store 3 in X by pressing 3 STO䉴 X,T,,n ENTER . Now enter the inequality x 4 by pressing X,T,,n 2ND TEST 3 4 ENTER . Your screen

3 ––> X 3

should look like the one at the left. Note that the value of the inequality on the screen is 0. This occurs because the calculator replaced X by 3 and then determined whether the inequality 3 4 was true or false. The calculator expresses the fact that the inequality is false by placing a zero on the screen. If we repeat the sequence of steps above, except that we store 5 in X instead of 3, the calculator will determine that the inequality is true and place a 1 on the screen. This property of calculators is used to graph piecewise functions. Graphs of these functions work best when Dot mode rather than Connected mode is used. To switch to Dot mode, select MODE , use the arrow keys to highlight DOT , and then press ENTER .

In a similar manner, for any value of x, x 2, the value assigned to (X≤–2) is 1 and the value assigned to (X>–2) is 0. Thus Y1=X*1+X2*0=X on that interval. This means that only the f共x兲苷 x piece of the function is graphed. When x 2, the value assigned to (X≤–2) is 0 and the value assigned to (X>–2) is 1. Thus Y1=X*0+X2*1=X2 on that interval.

1.3 Introduction to Functions • Definition of a Function A function is a set of ordered pairs in which no two ordered pairs that have the same first coordinate have different second coordinates. • A graph is the graph of a function if and only if no vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point. If every horizontal line intersects the graph of a function at most once, then the graph is the graph of a one-to-one function.

1.4 Properties of Graphs • The graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis if the replacement of x with x leaves the equation unaltered. the x-axis if the replacement of y with y leaves the equation unaltered. the origin if the replacement of x with x and y with y leaves the equation unaltered.

1.6 Inverse Functions • If f is a one-to-one function with domain X and range Y, and g is a function with domain Y and range X, then g is the inverse function of f if and only if 共 f ⴰ g兲共x兲苷 x for all x in the domain of g and 共 g ⴰ f 兲共x兲苷 x for all x in the domain of f.

1.7 Modeling Data Using Regression

111

• The linear correlation coefficient r is a measure of how closely the points of a data set can be modeled by a straight line. If r 苷 1, then the points of the data set can be modeled exactly by a straight line with negative slope. If r 苷 1, then the data set can be modeled exactly by a straight line with positive slope. For all data sets, 1 r 1.

• Regression analysis is used to find a mathematical model of collected data.

• The coefficient of determination is r 2. It measures the percent of the total variation in the dependent variable that is explained by the regression line.

• The least-squares regression line is the line that minimizes the sum of the squares of the vertical deviations of all data points from the line.

• It is possible to find both linear and nonlinear mathematical models of data.

» » » Quantitative Reasoning: Public Key Cryptography »»» As mentioned in the Chapter Opener, performing financial transactions over the Internet requires secure transmissions between two sites, the sender and the receiver. One method of creating secure transmissions is to use a modular function. A modular function is one that gives, in integer form, the remainder when one number is divided by another. We write a ¢ b mod m to mean that a is the remainder when b is divided by m. Here are some examples.

take note To encrypt a message means to use a secret code to change the message so that it cannot be understood by an unauthorized user. To decrypt a message means to change a coded message back to its original form.

QR1. Find the value of each expression. a. 15 mod 4 b. 37 mod 5 c. 52 mod 321 Public key cryptography uses a modular function to encrypt a message—say, a person’s name or credit card number—so that only the receiver of the message can decrypt it. The message is decrypted by using the inverse of the modular function that was used to encrypt the message. Inverse functions were discussed in Section 1.6.

Quantitative Reasoning

115

The unique feature of public key cryptography is that knowing the modular function (called the public key) used to encrypt a message does not allow one to easily determine the inverse modular function (called the private key) that is required to decrypt the message. For instance, Alice could give many people her public key to encrypt a message sent to her, but none of those people could decrypt a message written by another person and sent to Alice. QR2. You will need to do some research on public key cryptography to complete this exercise. Suppose a computer hacker wanted to decrypt a message that was encrypted using public key cryptography. What mathematical operation would the hacker need to be able to complete in order to find the inverse of the modular function that was used to encrypt the message?

take note Numbers can be assigned to letters in many ways. One common method is to use the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). This system assigns a number to every letter, number, and punctuation mark. For instance, “A” is 65 and “a” is 97. Computing powers of a modular function is difficult without a calculator. The program POWERMOD can be used for these calculations. This program, intended for use with a T1-83/ T1-83 Plus/T1-84 Plus calculator, can be found at our website college.hmco.com/info/aufmannCAT.

To encrypt a message, first assign a number to each letter of the alphabet. For instance, let A 苷 10, B 苷 11, C 苷 12, ... , Z 苷 36. The word MATH becomes 22102917. Once a message has been converted to numbers, it is divided into blocks. We will use a block of 4 numbers so that our message is now 2210兩2917. Each block is encrypted using the public key. We will use a modulus of 3233, but in practice this number would be very large—at least 200 digits. The following are our encryption and decryption functions. Encryption function: E 苷 M 17 mod 3233, where M is the message to be coded and E is the coded message. Decryption function: M 苷 E 2753 mod 3233, where E is the message to be decoded and M is the original message. Encrypt block 1:

Encrypt block 2:

2210 mod 3233 苷 1085

291717 mod 3233 苷 904

17

Instead of 2210兩2917, the encrypted message 1085兩0904 is sent (zeros are usually inserted to keep the blocks equal in length). The person receiving the message would use the decryption function to obtain the original message. Decrypt block 1:

Decrypt block 2:

10852753 mod 3233 苷 2210

09042753 mod 3233 苷 2917

The decrypted message is 2210兩2917, or MATH. QR3. Explain how public key cryptography could be used to ensure that an email you received was sent by a particular person and not just someone using that person’s computer. If you have difficulty with this assignment, research the topic digital signatures.

Harmonic Motion — An Application of the Sine and Cosine Functions

Applications of Trigonometric Functions In this chapter we introduce an important group of functions called the trigonometric functions. These functions are often used in applications involving relationships among the sides and angles of triangles. Exercise 59 on page 143 illustrates this aspect of trigonometry. In the seventeenth century, a unit circle approach was used to create trigonometric functions of real numbers or circular functions. These functions enable us to solve a wider variety of application problems. For instance, in Exercise 63 on page 178, a trigonometric function of a real number is used to model a sound wave and find the frequency of the sound wave. An application that involves finding the time it takes for the music produced by two sound tracks to repeat is given in the Quantitative Reasoning exercises on page 214. 1

Angles and Arcs

Section 2.1 ■ ■ ■ ■

Degree Measure Radian Measure Arcs and Arc Length Linear and Angular Speed

A point P on a line separates the line into two parts, each of which is called a halfline. The union of point P and the half-line formed by P that includes point A l l is called a ray, and it is represented as PA. The point P is the endpoint of ray PA. l

l

Figure 2.1 shows the ray PA and a second ray QR.

In geometry, an angle is defined simply as the union of two rays that have a common endpoint. In trigonometry and many advanced mathematics courses, it is beneficial to define an angle in terms of a rotation.

Definition of an Angle An angle is formed by rotating a given ray about its endpoint to some terminal position. The original ray is the initial side of the angle, and the second ray is the terminal side of the angle. The common endpoint is the vertex of the angle. R

A

There are several methods used to name an angle. One way is to employ Greek letters. For example, the angle shown in Figure 2.2 can be designated as a or as ⬔a. It also can be named ⬔O, ⬔AOB, or ⬔BOA. If you name an angle by using three points, such as ⬔AOB, it is traditional to list the vertex point between the other two points. Angles formed by a counterclockwise rotation are considered positive angles, and angles formed by a clockwise rotation are considered negative angles. See

Degree Measure The measure of an angle is determined by the amount of rotation of the initial side. An angle formed by rotating the initial side counterclockwise exactly once until it coincides with itself (one complete revolution) is defined to have a measure of 360 degrees, which is abbreviated as 360°.

QUESTION

Are the two acute angles of any right triangle complementary angles? Explain.

Some angles have a measure greater than 360 . See Figure 2.12a and Figure 2.12b. The angle shown in Figure 2.12c has a measure less than 360 ,

ANSWER

Yes. The sum of the measures of the angles of any triangle is 180 . The right angle has a measure of 90 . Thus the sum of the measures of the two acute angles must be 180 90 苷 90 .

If the terminal side of an angle in standard position lies on a coordinate axis, then the angle is classified as a quadrantal angle. For example, the 90 angle, the 180 angle, and the 270 angle shown in Figure 2.13 are all quadrantal angles. If the terminal side of an angle in standard position does not lie on a coordinate axis, then the angle is classified according to the quadrant that contains the terminal side. For example, ⬔b in Figure 2.14 is a Quadrant III angle. Angles in standard position that have the same terminal sides are coterminal angles. Every angle has an unlimited number of coterminal angles. Figure 2.15 shows ⬔u and two of its coterminal angles, labeled ⬔1 and ⬔2.

There are two popular methods for representing a fractional part of a degree. One is the decimal degree method. For example, the measure 29.76 is a decimal degree. It means 29 plus 76 hundredths of 1 A second method of measurement is known as the DMS (Degree, Minute, Second) method. In the DMS method, a degree is subdivided into 60 equal parts, each of which is called a minute, denoted by . Thus 1 苷 60 . Furthermore, a minute is subdivided into 60 equal parts, each of which is called a second, denoted by . Thus 1 苷 60 and 1 苷 3600. The fractions 1 苷 1, 60

are another way of expressing the relationships among degrees, minutes, and seconds. Each of the fractions is known as a unit fraction or a conversion factor. Because all conversion factors are equal to 1, you can multiply a numerical value by a conversion factor and not change the numerical value, even though you change the units used to express the numerical value.

Calculus Connection

Another commonly used angle measurement is the radian. To define a radian, first consider a circle of radius r and two radii OA and OB. The angle u formed by the two radii is a central angle. The portion of the circle between A and B is an arc of ២. We say that AB ២ subtends the angle u. The length of AB ២ the circle and is written AB is s (see Figure 2.19). Definition of a Radian B

One radian is the measure of the central angle subtended by an arc of length r on a circle of radius r. See Figure 2.20.

Figure 2.22 Central angle u has a measure of 3 radians.

A

As an example, consider that an arc of length 15 centimeters on a circle with a radius of 5 centimeters subtends an angle of 3 radians, as shown in Figure 2.22. The same result can be found by dividing 15 centimeters by 5 centimeters. To find the measure in radians of any central angle u, divide the length s of the arc that subtends u by the length of the radius of the circle. Using the formula for radian measure, we find that an arc of length 12 centimeters on a circle of radius 8 centimeters subtends a central angle u whose measure is u苷

s 12 centimeters 3 radians 苷 radians 苷 radians r 8 centimeters 2

Note that the centimeter units are not part of the final result. The radian measure of a central angle formed by an arc of length 12 miles on a circle of radius 8 miles 3 would be the same, radians. If an angle has a measure of t radians, where t is a 2 real number, then the measure of the angle is often stated as t instead of t radians. For instance, if an angle u has a measure of 2 radians, we can simply write u 苷 2 instead of u 苷 2 radians. There will be no confusion concerning whether an angle measure is in degrees or radians, because the degree symbol is always used for angle measurements that are in degrees. Recall that the circumference of a circle is given by the equation C 苷 2p r. The radian measure of the central angle u subtended by the circumference is 2p r u苷苷 2p. In degree measure, the central angle u subtended by the circumferr ence is 360 . Thus we have the relationship 360 苷 2p radians. Dividing each side of the equation by 2 gives 180 苷 p radians. From this last equation, we can establish the following conversion factors.

During each complete revolution, the swings in the outer ring travel a greater distance than the swings in the inner ring.

Trigonometric Functions Eratosthenes reasoned that because the sun is far away, the rays of sunlight that reach Earth must be nearly parallel. From this assumption he concluded that the measure of ⬔AOS in the accompanying figure must be 7.5 . Use this information to estimate the radius (to the nearest 10 miles) of Earth.

What distance, to the nearest tenth of a foot, does the tip of the minute hand travel during this period? 87. VELOCITY OF THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE On April 25, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was deployed into a circular orbit 625 kilometers above the surface of the earth.

ESTIMATING THE RADIUS OF EARTH Eratosthenes, the fifth librarian of Alexandria (230 B.C.), was able to estimate the radius of Earth from the following data: The distance between the Egyptian cities of Alexandria and Syrene was 5000 stadia (520 miles). Syrene was located directly south of Alexandria. One summer, at noon, the sun was directly overhead at Syrene, whereas at the same time in Alexandria, the sun was at a 7.5 angle from the zenith.

The Six Trigonometric Functions The study of trigonometry, which means “triangle measurement,” began more than 2000 years ago, partially as a means of solving surveying problems. Early trigonometry used the length of a line segment between two points of a circle as the value of a trigonometric function. In the sixteenth century, right triangles were used to define a trigonometric function. We will use a modification of this approach. When working with right triangles, it is convenient to refer to the side opposite an angle or the side adjacent to (next to) an angle. Figure 2.29 shows the sides opposite and adjacent to the angle u. Figure 2.30 shows the sides opposite and adjacent to the angle b. In both cases, the hypotenuse remains the same.

Six ratios can be formed by using two lengths of the three sides of a right triangle. Each ratio defines a value of a trigonometric function of a given acute angle . The functions are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cosecant (csc), secant (sec), and cotangent (cot).

Trigonometric Functions of Special Angles In Example 1, the lengths of the legs of the triangle were given, and you were asked to find the values of the six trigonometric functions of the angle . Often we will want to find the value of a trigonometric function when we are given the measure of an angle rather than the measure of the sides of a triangle. For most angles, advanced mathematical methods are required to evaluate a trigonometric function. For some special angles, however, the value of a trigonometric function can be found by geometric methods. These special acute angles are 30 , 45 , and 60 . First, we will find the values of the six trigonometric functions of 45 . (This discussion is based on angles measured in degrees. Radian measure could have been used without changing the results.) Figure 2.33 shows a right triangle with angles 45 , 45 , and 90 . Because ⬔A 苷 ⬔B, the lengths of the sides opposite these angles are equal. Let the length of each equal side be denoted by a.

The values of the trigonometric functions of the special angles 30 and 60 can be found by drawing an equilateral triangle and bisecting one of the angles, as Figure 2.34 shows. The angle bisector also bisects one of the sides. Thus the length of the side opposite the 30 angle is one-half the length of the hypotenuse of triangle OAB.

Integrating Technology The values of the trigonometric functions of the special angles 30 , 45 , and 60 shown in Table 2.2 are exact values. If an angle is not one of these special angles, then a graphing calculator often is used to approximate the value of a trigonometric function. For instance, to find sin 52.4 on a TI-83/TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus calculator, first check that the calculator is in degree mode. Then use the sine function key SIN to key in sin(52.4) and press ENTER .

To find sec 1.25, first check that the calculator is in radian mode. A TI-83/ TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus calculator does not have a secant function key, but because the secant function is the reciprocal of the cosine function, we can evaluate sec 1.25 by evaluating 1/(cos 1.25). See Figure 2.36. Select Degree in the Mode menu.

Applications Involving Right Triangles Some applications concern an observer looking at an object. In these applications, angles of elevation or angles of depression are formed by a line of sight and a horizontal line. If the object being observed is above the observer, the acute angle formed by the line of sight and the horizontal line is an angle of elevation. If the object being observed is below the observer, the acute angle formed by the line of sight and the horizontal line is an angle of depression. See Figure 2.37.

Solution From Figure 2.38, the length of the adjacent side of the angle is known (115 feet). Because we need to determine the height of the tree (length of the opposite side), we use the tangent function. Let h represent the length of the opposite side. h

The applications of trigonometry would be quite limited if all angles had to be acute angles. Fortunately, this is not the case. In this section we extend the definition of a trigonometric function to include any angle. Consider angle u in Figure 2.41 in standard position and a point P共x, y兲 on the terminal side of the angle. We define the trigonometric functions of any angle according to the following definitions.

Figure 2.41

Definitions of the Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle Let P共x, y兲 be any point, except the origin, on the terminal side of an angle u in standard position. Let r 苷 d共O, P兲, the distance from the origin to P. The six trigonometric functions of u are y r r csc u 苷 , y

The value of a trigonometric function is independent of the point chosen on the terminal side of the angle. Consider any two points on the terminal side of an angle u in standard position, as shown in Figure 2.42. The right triangles formed are similar triangles, so the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal. Thus, b b b b b for example, 苷 . Because tan u 苷苷 , we have tan u 苷 . Therefore, the a a a a a value of the tangent function is independent of the point chosen on the terminal side of the angle. By a similar argument, we can show that the value of any trigonometric function is independent of the point chosen on the terminal side of the angle.

Trigonometric Functions of Quadrantal Angles Recall that a quadrantal angle is an angle whose terminal side coincides with the x- or y-axis. The value of a trigonometric function of a quadrantal angle can be found by choosing any point on the terminal side of the angle and then applying the definition of that trigonometric function.

The sign of a trigonometric function depends on the quadrant in which the terminal side of the angle lies. For example, if u is an angle whose terminal side lies in Quadrant III and P共x, y兲 is on the terminal side of u, then both x and y are negay x y tive, and therefore and are positive. See Figure 2.46. Because tan u 苷 x y x x and cot u 苷 , the values of the tangent and cotangent functions are positive for y any Quadrant III angle. The values of the other four trigonometric functions of any Quadrant III angle are all negative. Table 2.5 lists the signs of the six trigonometric functions in each quadrant.

The Wrapping Function In the seventeenth century, applications of trigonometry were extended to problems in physics and engineering. These kinds of problems required trigonometric functions whose domains were sets of real numbers rather than sets of angles. This extension of the definitions of trigonometric functions to include real numbers was accomplished by using a correspondence between an angle and the length of an arc on a unit circle.

Chapter 2

Trigonometric Functions Consider a circle given by the equation x 2 y 2 苷 1, called a unit circle, and a vertical coordinate line l tangent to the unit circle at 共1, 0兲. We define a function W that pairs a real number t on the coordinate line with a point P共x, y兲 on the unit circle. This function W is called the wrapping function because it is analogous to wrapping a line around a circle. As shown in Figure 2.50, the positive part of the coordinate line is wrapped around the unit circle in a counterclockwise direction. The negative part of the coordinate line is wrapped around the circle in a clockwise direction. The wrapping function is defined by the equation W共t兲苷 P共x, y兲, where t is a real number y and P共x, y兲 is the point on the unit circle that P(x, y) corresponds to t. Through the wrapping function, each ២ that subreal number t defines an arc AP t t r=1 tends a central angle with a measure of ២ θ radians. The length of the arc AP is t (see Figx A(1, 0) r=1 ure 2.51). From the equation s 苷 r for the arc length of a circle, we have (with t 苷 s) t 苷 r. For a unit circle, r 苷 1, and the equation bel comes t 苷 . Thus, on a unit circle, the measure of a central angle and the length of its arc can be represented by the same real number t. Figure 2.51

Trigonometric functions of real numbers are frequently called circular functions to distinguish them from trigonometric functions of angles. The trigonometric functions of real numbers (or circular functions) look remarkably like the trigonometric functions defined in the last section. The difference between the two is that of domain: In one case, the domains are sets of real numbers; in the other case, the domains are sets of angle measurements. However, there are similarities between the two functions. Consider an angle (measured in radians) in standard position, as shown in Figure 2.55. Let P共x, y兲 and P 共x , y 兲 be two points on the terminal side of , where x 2 y 2 苷 1 and 共x 兲2 共y 兲2 苷 r 2. Let t be the length of the arc from A共1, 0兲 to P共x, y兲. Then sin 苷

Properties of Trigonometric Functions of Real Numbers The domain and range of the trigonometric functions of real numbers can be found from the definitions of these functions. If t is any real number and P共x, y兲 is the point corresponding to W共t兲, then by definition cos t 苷 x and sin t 苷 y. Thus the domain of the sine and cosine functions is the set of real numbers. Because the radius of the unit circle is 1, we have 1 x 1

and

1 y 1

Therefore, with x 苷 cos t and y 苷 sin t, we have 1 cos t 1

and

1 sin t 1

The range of the cosine and sine functions is 关1, 1兴. Using the definitions of tangent and secant, tan t 苷

The domain of the tangent function is all real numbers t except those for which the 3 x-coordinate of W共t兲 is zero. The x-coordinate is zero when t 苷 , t 苷 , 2 2 5p 共2n 1兲 t 苷 , and in general when t 苷 , where n is an integer. 2 2 Thus the domain of the tangent function is the set of all real numbers t except 共2n 1兲 t苷 , where n is an integer. The range of the tangent function is all 2 real numbers. Similar methods can be used to find the domain and range of the cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions. The results are summarized in Table 2.6 on the next page.

Consider the points t and t on the coordinate line l tangent to the unit circle at the point 共1, 0兲. The points W共t兲 and W共t兲 are symmetric with respect to the x-axis. Therefore, if P 1共x, y兲 are the coordinates of W共t兲, then P 2共x, y兲 are the coordinates of W共t兲. See Figure 2.56. From the definitions of the trigonometric functions, we have sin t 苷 y

These equations show that the cosecant is an odd function and the secant is an even function. y From the definition of the tangent function, we have tan t 苷 and x y y tan共t兲苷 . Substituting tan t for yields tan共t兲苷 tan t. Because x x 1 cot t 苷 , it follows that cot共t兲苷 cot t. Thus the tangent and cotangent tan t functions are odd functions.

We encounter many recurring patterns in everyday life. For instance, the time of day repeats every 24 hours. If f共t兲 represents the present time of day, then 24 hours later the time of day will be exactly the same. Using mathematical notation, we can express this concept as f共t 24兲苷 f共t兲 The function f is said to be periodic in that it repeats itself over and over. The period of f is 24 hours, the time it takes to complete one full cycle.

Definition of a Periodic Function A function f is periodic if there exists a positive constant p such that f共t p兲苷 f共t兲 for all t in the domain of f. The smallest such positive number p for which f is periodic is called the period of f.

The unit circle can be used to show that the sine and cosine functions are periodic functions. First note that the circumference of the unit circle is 2p. Thus, if we start at any point P共x, y兲苷 P共cos t, sin t兲 on the unit circle and travel a distance of 2p units around the circumference, we will be back at point P. Hence 共cos共t 2p兲, sin共t 2p兲兲苷共cos t, sin t兲. Equating the first componenets gives us cos共t 2p兲苷 cos t and equating the second components yields sin共t 2p兲苷 sin t.

For any line through the y origin, if P共x, y兲 is a point on the line, P(x, y) then Q共x, y兲 is also a point on the t+π t line. Because line segment PQ is a diameter, the length of the arc from x P to Q is . Thus the length of the arc A(1, 0) from A through P to Q is t . Therefore, W共t 兲苷 Q共x, y兲.

The vibratory motion of a mass on a spring is called harmonic motion. In this section, we will examine two types of harmonic motion.

Chapter 2

Trigonometric Functions

Simple Harmonic Motion

Equilibrium position

Figure 2.96

We will consider a mass on a spring to illustrate vibratory motion. Assume that we have placed a mass on a spring and allowed the spring to come to rest, as shown in Figure 2.96. The system is said to be in equilibrium when the mass is at rest. The point of rest is called the origin of the system. We consider the distance above the equilibrium point as positive and the distance below the equilibrium point as negative. If the mass is now lifted a distance a and released, the mass will oscillate up and down in periodic motion. If there is no friction, the motion repeats itself in a certain period of time. The number of times the mass oscillates in 1 unit of time is called the frequency f of the motion, and the time one oscillation takes is the period p of the motion. The motion is referred to as simple harmonic motion. Figure 2.97 shows the displacement y of the mass for one oscillation at times p p 3p t 苷 0, , , , and p. 4 2 4

The maximum displacement from the equilibrium position is called the amplitude of the motion. Vibratory motion can be quite complicated. However, the simple harmonic motion of a mass on a spring can be described by one of the following equations. Simple Harmonic Motion

Damped Harmonic Motion The previous examples have assumed that there is no friction within the spring and no air resistance. If we consider friction and air resistance, then the motion of the mass tends to decrease as t increases. The motion is called damped harmonic motion and can be modeled by an equation in the form f(t) 苷 aektcos wt. EXAMPLE 3

Verification of Trigonometric Identities To verify an identity, we show that one side of the identity can be rewritten in an equivalent form that is identical to the other side. There is no one method that can be used to verify every identity; however, the following guidelines should prove useful. Guidelines for Verifying Trigonometric Identities ■

If one side of the identity is more complex than the other, then it is generally best to try first to simplify the more complex side until it becomes identical to the other side.

■

Perform indicated operations such as adding fractions or squaring a binomial. Also be aware of any factorization that may help you to achieve your goal of producing the expression on the other side.

■

Make use of previously established identities that enable you to rewrite one side of the identity in an equivalent form.

■

Rewrite one side of the identity so that it involves only sines and/or cosines. Continued 䉴

218

Chapter 3

Trigonometric Identities and Equations

■

Rewrite one side of the identity in terms of a single trigonometric function.

■

Multiplying both the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same factor (such as the conjugate of the denominator or the conjugate of the numerator) may get you closer to your goal.

■

Keep your goal in mind. Does it involve products, quotients, sums, radicals, or powers? Knowing exactly what your goal is may provide the insight you need to verify the identity.

In Example 1 we verify an identity by rewriting the more complicated side so that it involves only sines and cosines. EXAMPLE 1

Change to Sines and Cosines to Verify an Identity

In the previous examples we verified trigonometric identities by rewriting one side of the identity in equivalent forms until that side appeared identical to the other side. A second method is to work with each side separately to produce a trigonometric expression that is equivalent to both sides. In the following paragraphs we use this procedure to verify the identity 1 cos x 苷共csc x cot x兲2 1 cos x Working with the left side gives us 1 cos x 1 cos x 1 cos x 苷 1 cos x 1 cos x 1 cos x

(1)

• Multiply both numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

• Multiply and rewrite as a single fraction.

• Use the identity 1 cos2 x sin2 x.

苷

1 2 cos x cos2 x sin2 x

(6)

• Add the fractions.

At this point we have verified the identity because we have shown that each side is equal to the same trigonometric expression. It is worth noting that if we arranged the above equations in the order (1), (2), (3), (5), and (4), we would have a verification that starts with the left side of the original identity and produces the right side. When we verify an identity, we are not allowed to perform the same mathematical operation on both sides of the equation because this can lead to an incorrect result. For instance, consider the equation tan x 苷 tan x, which is not an identity. If we square both sides of the equation, we produce the identity tan2 x 苷 tan2 x. We can avoid the problem of converting a non-identity into an identity and vice versa by using only mathematical operations and procedures that are reversible. We can see that the operation of squaring is not a reversible operation because it is not possible to take square roots (reverse the squaring operation) and convert tan2 x 苷 tan2 x back into tan x 苷 tan x.

Chapter 3

Trigonometric Identities and Equations There is often more than one way to verify a trigonometric identity. Some of these approaches are shorter and considered more elegant than others. As a beginner, you should be content with finding a verification. After you have had lots of practice, you may decide to seek out different verifications and compare them to see which you think is most efficient.

3.3 91. MACH NUMBERS Ernst Mach (1838 – 1916) was an Austrian physicist who made a study of the motion of objects at high speeds. Today we often state the speed of aircraft in terms of a Mach number. A Mach number is the speed of an object divided by the speed of sound. For example, a plane flying at the speed of sound is said to have a speed M of Mach 1. Mach 2 is twice the speed of sound. An airplane that travels faster than the speed of sound creates a sonic boom. This sonic boom emanates from the airplane in the shape of a cone. Sonic boom cone

The Product-to-Sum Identities Some applications require that a product of trigonometric functions be written as a sum or difference of these functions. Other applications require that the sum or difference of trigonometric functions be represented as a product of these functions. The product-to-sum identities are particularly useful in these types of problems.

• Add the identities.

Solving for sin a cos b, we obtain the first product-to-sum identity: sin a cos b 苷

The identity for cos a sin b is obtained when sin共a b兲 is subtracted from sin共a b兲. The result is cos a sin b 苷

In like manner, the identities for cos共a b兲 and cos共a b兲 are used to derive the identities for cos a cos b and sin a sin b. The product-to-sum identities can be used to verify some identities.

BEATS If two tuning forks that are close in frequency are struck at the same time, the sound we hear fluctuates between a loud tone and silence. These regular fluctuations are called beats. The loud periods occur when the sound waves reinforce (interfere constructively with) one another, and the silent periods occur when the waves interfere destructively with one another. If the frequencies of the tuning forks are 442 cycles per second and 440 cycles per second then the pressure produced on our eardrums by each tuning fork, respectively, is given by Y1 苷 sin共2p 442x兲 and

Y2 苷 sin共2p 440x兲

To produce a graph that better illustrates the beats produced when both tuning forks are struck simultaneously, graph Y3, Y4 苷 2 cos共2px兲, and Y5 苷 2 cos共2px兲 together in the same window. What is the relationship between the graph of Y3 and the graphs of Y4 and Y5? b. Use a sum-to-product identity to write Y3 as a product. c. The rate of the beats produced by two sounds with the same intensity is the absolute value of the difference between their frequencies. Consider two tuning forks that are struck at the same time with the same force and held on a sounding board. The tuning forks have frequencies of 564 and 568 cycles per second, respectively. How many beats will be heard each second? d. A piano tuner strikes a tuning fork and a key on a piano that is supposed to have the same frequency as the tuning fork. The piano tuner notices that the sound produced by the piano is lower than that produced by the tuning fork. The piano tuner also notes that the combined sound of the piano and the tuning fork has 2 beats per second. How much lower is the frequency of the piano than the frequency of the tuning fork?

Use the horizontal line test to determine whether the graph of y 苷 sin x, where x is any real number, is a one-to-one function. [1.3/2.5]

Inverse Trigonometric Functions Because the graph of y 苷 sin x fails the horizontal line test, it is not the graph of a one-to-one function. Therefore, it does not have an inverse function. Figure 3.10 shows the graph of y 苷 sin x on the interval 2 x 2 and the graph of the inverse relation x 苷 sin y. Note that the graph of x 苷 sin y does not satisfy the vertical line test and therefore is not the graph of a function. If the domain of the function y 苷 sin x is restricted to x , the graph 2 2 of y 苷 sin x satisfies the horizontal line test and therefore the function has an inverse function. The graphs of y 苷 sin x for x and its inverse are shown in 2 2 Figure 3.11 on the next page. y

It is convenient to think of the value of an inverse trigonometric function as 1 an angle. For instance, if y 苷 sin1 , then y is the angle in the interval 2 1 whose sine is . Thus y 苷 , . 2 2 2 6 Because the graph of y 苷 cos x fails the horizontal line test, it is not the graph of a one-to-one function. Therefore, it does not have an inverse function.

Note that the graph of x 苷 cos y does not satisfy the vertical line test and therefore is not the graph of a function. If the domain of y 苷 cos x is restricted to 0 x , the graph of y 苷 cos x satisfies the horizontal line test and therefore is the graph of a one-to-one function.

Because the graphs of y 苷 tan x, y 苷 csc x, y 苷 sec x, and y 苷 cot x fail the horizontal line test, these functions are not one-to-one functions. Therefore, these functions do not have inverse functions. If the domains of all these functions are restricted in a certain way, however, the graphs satisfy the horizontal line test. Thus each of these functions has an inverse function over a restricted domain. Table 3.2 on page 258 shows the restricted function and the inverse function for tan x, csc x, sec x, and cot x. The choice of ranges for y 苷 sec1 x and y 苷 csc1 x is not universally ac 3 cepted. For example, some calculus texts use 0, , as the range of 2 2 y 苷 sec1 x. This definition has some advantages and some disadvantages that are explained in more advanced mathematics courses.

When you use a graphing utility to draw the graph of an inverse trigonometric function, use the properties of these functions to verify the correctness of your graph. For instance, the graph of y 苷 3 sin1 0.5x is shown in Figure 3.20. The domain of y 苷 sin1 x is 1 x 1. Therefore, the domain of y 苷 3 sin1 0.5x is 1 0.5x 1 or, multiplying the inequality by 2, 2 x 2. This is consistent with the graph in Figure 3.20. The range of y 苷 sin1 x is y . Thus the range of 2 2 3 3 y 苷 3 sin1 0.5x is y . This is also consistent with the graph. 2 2 Verifying some of the properties of y 苷 sin1 x serves as a check that you have correctly entered the equation for the graph.

Model Sinusoidal Data Data that can be closely modeled by a function of the form y 苷 a sin 共bx c兲 d are called sinusoidal data. Many graphing utilities are designed to perform a sine regression to find the sine function that provides the best least-squares fit for sinusoidal data. For instance, the TI-83/TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus uses the command SinReg and the TI-86 uses SinR to perform a sine regression. The process generally works best for those sets of data for which we have a good estimate of the period. In Example 8 we use a sine regression to model the percent of illumination of the moon as seen from Earth. See Figure 3.30.

Trigonometry and Indirect Measurement In Chapter 2 we used trigonometric functions to find the unknown length of a side of a given right triangle. In this chapter we develop theorems that can be used to find the length of a side or the measure of an angle of any triangle, even if it is not a right triangle. These theorems are often used in the areas of Hurricane navigation, surveying, and building design. Meterologists use these theorems to estimate the distance from an approaching hurricane to cities in the projected path of the hurricane. For instance, in the diagram on the left, the distance from the hurricane to Nags Head can be determined using the Law of Sines, a theorem presented in this chapter. See Exercises 30 and 31 on page 299 for additional applications that can be solved by using the Law of Sines.

The Law of Sines The Ambiguous Case (SSA) Applications of the Law of Sines

The Law of Sines Solving a triangle involves finding the lengths of all sides and the measures of all angles in the triangle. In this section and the next we develop formulas for solving an oblique triangle, which is a triangle that does not contain a right angle. The Law of Sines can be used to solve oblique triangles in which either two angles and a side or two sides and an angle opposite one of the sides are known. In Figure 4.1, altitude CD is drawn from C. The length of the altitude is h. Triangles ACD and BCD are right triangles. Using the definition of the sine of an angle of a right triangle, we have from Figure 4.1

The Ambiguous Case (SSA) When you are given two sides of a triangle and an angle opposite one of them, you may find that the triangle is not unique. Some information may result in two triangles, and some may result in no triangle at all. It is because of this that the case of knowing two sides and an angle opposite one of them (SSA) is called the ambiguous case of the Law of Sines. Suppose that sides a and c and the nonincluded angle A of a triangle are known and we are asked to solve triangle ABC. The relationships among h, the height of the triangle, a (the side opposite ⬔A), and c determine whether there are no, one, or two triangles. Case 1 First consider the case in which ⬔A is an acute angle (see Figure 4.3). There are four possible situations.

1. a h; there is no possible triangle. 2. a 苷 h; there is one triangle, a right triangle. 3. h a c; there are two possible triangles. 4. a c; there is one triangle, which is not a right triangle.

The Law of Sines

In navigation and surveying problems, there are two commonly used methods for specifying direction. The angular direction in which a craft is pointed is called the heading. Heading is expressed in terms of an angle measured clockwise from north. Figure 4.8 shows a heading of 65° and a heading of 285°. The angular direction used to locate one object in relation to another object is called the bearing. Bearing is expressed in terms of the acute angle formed by a north–south line and the line of direction. Figure 4.9 shows a bearing of N38°W and a bearing of S15°E. N N N 38° W W

There are five different cases that we may encounter when solving an oblique triangle. Each case is listed below under the law that can be used to solve the triangle. Choosing Between the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines Apply the Law of Sines to solve an oblique triangle for each of the following cases. ASA The measures of two angles of the triangle and the length of the included side are known. AAS The measures of two angles of the triangle and the length of a side opposite one of these angles are known. SSA The lengths of two sides of the triangle and the measure of an angle opposite one of these sides are known. This case is called the ambiguous case. It may yield one solution, two solutions, or no solution. Apply the Law of Cosines to solve an oblique triangle for each of the following cases. SSS The lengths of all three sides of the triangle are known. After finding the measure of an angle, you can complete your solution by using the Law of Sines.

Math Matters Recent findings indicate that Heron’s formula for finding the area of a triangle was first discovered by Archimedes. However, the formula is called Heron’s formula in honor of the geometer Heron of Alexandria (A.D. 50), who gave an ingenious proof of the theorem in his work Metrica. Because Heron of Alexandria was also known as Hero, some texts refer to Heron’s formula as Hero’s formula.

Heron’s Formula The Law of Cosines can be used to derive Heron’s formula for the area of a triangle in which three sides of the triangle are given.

The formula is intriguing because it contains the dimensions of all angles and all sides of triangle ABC. The formula can be used to check whether a triangle has been solved correctly. Substitute the dimensions of a given triangle in the formula and compare the value of the left side of the formula with the value of the right side. If the two results are not reasonably close, then you know that at least one dimension is incorrect. The results generally will not be identical because each dimension is an approximation. In Exercises 63 and 64, you can assume that a triangle has an incorrect dimension if the value of the left side and the value of the right side of the above formula differ by more than 0.02.

Vectors In scientific applications some measurements, such as area, mass, distance, speed, and time, are completely described by a real number and a unit. Examples include 30 square feet (area), 25 meters兾second (speed), and 5 hours (time). These measurements are called scalar quantities, and the number used to indicate the magnitude of the measurement is called a scalar. Two other examples of scalar quantities are volume and temperature. For other quantities, in addition to the numerical and unit description, it is also necessary to include a direction to describe the quantity completely. For

example, applying a force of 25 pounds at various angles to a small metal box will influence how the box moves. In Figure 4.16, applying the 25-pound force straight down (A) will not move the box to the left. However, applying the 25-pound force parallel to the floor (C) will move the box along the floor. Vector quantities have a magnitude (numerical and unit description) and a direction. Force is a vector quantity. Velocity is another. Velocity includes the speed (magnitude) and a direction. A velocity of 40 mph east is different from a velocity of 40 mph north. Displacement is another vector quantity; it consists of distance (a scalar) moved in a certain direction. For example, we might speak of a displacement of 13 centimeters at an angle of 15° from the positive x-axis.

The point A for the vector in Figure 4.17 is called the initial point (or tail) of the vector, and the point B is the terminal point (or head) of the vector. An arrow l l over the letters 共AB兲, an arrow over a single letter 共V 兲, or boldface type (AB or V) is used to denote a vector. The magnitude of the vector is the length of the line segl l ment and is denoted by 储 AB 储 , 储 V 储 , 储 AB 储 , or 储 V 储 . Equivalent vectors have the same magnitude and the same direction. The vectors in Figure 4.18 are equivalent. They have the same magnitude and direction. Multiplying a vector by a positive real number (other than 1) changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. If v is any vector, then 2v is the vector that has the same direction as v but is twice the magnitude of v. The multiplication of 2 and v is called the scalar multiplication of the vector v and the scalar 2. Multiplying a vector by a negative number a reverses the direction of the vector and multiplies the magnitude of the vector by 兩a兩. See Figure 4.19. The sum of two vectors, called the resultant vector or the resultant, is the single equivalent vector that will have the same effect as the application of those two vectors. For example, a displacement of 40 meters along the positive x-axis and then 30 meters in the positive y direction is equivalent to a vector of magnitude 50 meters at an angle of approximately 37° to the positive x-axis. See Figure 4.20. Vectors can be added graphically by using the triangle method or the parallelogram method. In the triangle method, shown in Figure 4.21, the initial point of V is placed at the terminal point of U. The vector connecting the initial point of U with the terminal point of V is the sum U V. The parallelogram method of adding two vectors graphically places the initial point of the two vectors U and V together, as in Figure 4.22. Complete the parallelogram so that U and V are sides of the parallelogram. The diagonal beginning at the initial point of the two vectors is U V. To find the difference between two vectors, first rewrite the expression as V U 苷 V 共U兲. The difference is shown geometrically in Figure 4.23.

Chapter 4

Applications of Trigonometry By introducing a coordinate plane, it is possible to develop an analytic approach to vectors. Recall from our discussion of equivalent vectors that a vector can be moved in the plane as long as the magnitude and direction are not changed. With this in mind, consider AB, whose initial point is A共2, 1兲 and whose terminal point is B共3, 4兲. If this vector is moved so that the initial point is at the origin O, the terminal point becomes P共5, 5兲, as shown in Figure 4.24. The vector OP is equivalent to the vector AB. In Figure 4.25, let P1共x1 , y1兲 be the initial point of a vector and P2共x2 , y2兲 its terminal point. Then an equivalent vector OP has its initial point at the origin and its terminal point at P共a, b兲, where a 苷 x2 x1 and b 苷 y2 y1 . The vector OP can be denoted by v 苷具a, b典; a and b are called the components of the vector. y 5

Applications of Vectors take note Ground speed is the magnitude of the resultant of the plane’s velocity vector and the wind velocity vector.

Vectors are used to solve applied problems in which forces are acting simultaneously on an object. For instance, an airplane flying in a wind is being acted upon by the force of its engine, F1, and the force of the wind, F2. The combined effect of these two forces is given by the resultant F1 F2. In the following example, the airspeed of the plane is the speed at which the plane would be moving if there were no wind. The actual velocity of the plane is the plane’s velocity with respect to the ground. The magnitude of the plane’s actual velocity is called its ground speed. EXAMPLE 6

Vectors

We can add two vectors to produce a resultant vector, and we can also find two vectors whose sum is a given vector. The process of finding two vectors whose sum is a given vector is called resolving the vector. Many applied problems can be analyzed by resolving a vector into two vectors that are perpendicular to each other. For instance, Figure 4.31 shows a car on a ramp. The force of gravity on the car is shown by the downward vector w, which has been resolved into the vectors F1 and F2. The vector F1 is parallel to the ramp and represents the force pushing the car down the ramp. The vector F2 is perpendicular to the ramp and represents the force the car exerts against the ramp. These two perpendicular forces F1 and F2 are vector components of w. That is, w F1 F2. The force needed to keep the car from rolling down the ramp is F1. The angle formed by w and F2 is complementary to the 75.0º angle. Thus the angle formed by w and F2 has a measure of 15.0º, which is the same as the angular measure of the incline of the ramp.

Figure 4.37

Two vectors are parallel when the angle between the vectors is 0° or 180°, as shown in Figure 4.36. When the angle is 0°, the vectors point in the same direction; the vectors point in opposite directions when is 180°. Let v 苷 a1 i b1 j, let c be a real number, and let w 苷 cv. Because w is a constant multiple of v, w and v are parallel vectors. When c 0 , the vectors point in the same direction. When c 0, the vectors point in opposite directions. Two vectors are perpendicular when the angle between the vectors is 90°. See Figure 4.37. Perpendicular vectors are referred to as orthogonal vectors. If v and w are two nonzero orthogonal vectors, then from the formula for the angle between two vectors and the fact that cos 苷 0, we have 0苷

If a fraction equals zero, the numerator must be zero. Thus, for orthogonal vectors v and w, v w 苷 0. This gives the following result.

Work: An Application of the Dot Product When a 5-pound force is used to lift a box from the ground a distance of 4 feet, work is done. The amount of work is the product of the force on the box and the distance the box is moved. In this case the work is 20 foot-pounds. When the box is lifted, the force and the displacement vector (the direction in which and the distance the box was moved) are in the same direction. (See Figure 4.38.)

A great circle is a circle on a sphere’s surface whose center is the same as the center of the sphere. A great circle is a path on the sphere with the smallest curvature, and hence an arc of a great circle is the shortest path between two given points on the sphere. The distance between any two points on a sphere is called the great circle distance for the given points. Great circle routes are often used by pilots when winds are not a significant factor. A formula that is used to estimate the great circle distance d, measured in radians, between two airports is given by d 苷 cos1[cos(lat1) cos(lat2) cos(lon1lon2) sin(lat1) sin(lat2)]

(1)

where lat1 is the latitude of airport 1, lon1 is the longitude of airport 1, lat2 is the latitude of airport 2, and lon2 is the longitude of airport 2. For example, the coordinates of New York’s John F. Kennedy airport (JFK) are 40º39 N and 73º47 W. The coordinates of London’s Heathrow airport (LHR) are 51º29 N and 0º27 W. Converting each of these coordinates to radians gives (lat1, lon1) ⬇ (0.709476, 1.287756) (lat2, lon2) ⬇ (0.898554, 0.007854)

Quantitative Reasoning

Note: North latitudes and east longitudes are represented by positive radian values, whereas south latitudes and west longitudes are represented by negative radian values. Substitute the radian values into Formula (1) to produce d ⬇ 0.869496 radian. Because the earth is nearly spherical with a radius of about 3960 miles, we can convert d to miles by multiplying by 3960. d ⬇ 0.869496 3960 ⬇ 3443 Rounded to the nearest 10 miles, the great circle distance from JFK to LHR is approximately 3440 miles. To fly a great circle route, the pilot must adjusts his or her heading several times during the flight. The following formulas can be used to find the initial heading (h1) a pilot should use to fly a great circle route from airport 1 to airport 2. If sin(lon2 – lon1) > 0, then h1 苷 cos1

sin(lat2) sin(lat1) cos(d) sin(d) cos(lat1)

Otherwise, h1 苷 2p cos1

(3)

In Formulas (2) and (3), each of the values lat1, lat2, and d must be in radians. Also, these formulas are not valid if airport 1 is located at the North or South Pole. To find the initial heading required to fly the great circle route from JFK to LHR, we first note that sin(lon2 lon1) 苷 sin[0.007854 (1.287756)] ⬇ 0.957988 Because sin(lon2 lon1) 0, we use Formula (2) to find the initial heading. Substitute 0.709476 for lat1, 0.898554 for lat2, and 0.869496 for d to produce h1 ⬇ 0.896040 radian. Converting to degrees gives 51º as the initial heading from JFK to LHR, to the nearest degree. QR1. Find the great circle distance, in miles, between Orlando International airport (KMCO) (latitude 0.496187 radian, longitude 1.419110 radians) and Los Angeles International airport (LAX) (latitude 0.592409 radian, longitude 2.066611 radians). Use 3960 miles as the radius of Earth. Round to the nearest 10 miles. QR2. Find the initial heading needed to fly the great circle route from KMCO to LAX. Round to the nearest degree. QR3.

A fractal is a geometric figure that reveals greater detail and complexity as it is magnified over and over. Traditional Euclidean figures, such as a circle, a parabola, and a hyperbola, appear simpler as they are magnified. For instance, if you use a computer to repeatedly zoom in on a region of one of these figures, the figure starts to appear more and more like a straight line. However, as you repeatedly zoom in on a region of a fractal, more and more complex details of the figure are displayed. The word fractal was first used by the mathematician Benoit B. Mandelbrot (1924– ). Earlier mathematicians such as Cantor, Lebesgue, Julia, Koch, Hausdorff, Peano, Bolzano, and Sierpinski developed many concepts regarding fractals; however, these ideas were largely neglected until Mandelbrot publicized The Fractal Geometry of Nature in 1977. Many fractals are generated using complex numbers and a feedback process. The process starts by substituting a complex number into a complex function to produce an output. The output is substituted back into the function and the process is repeated. The Exploring Concepts with Technology on page 356 and the Quantitative Reasoning feature on page 359 explain the details of how a fractal called the Mandelbrot set is generated and how you can use a graphing calculator to produce its graph.

The Real Number System

Complex Numbers Introduction to Complex Numbers Recall that 兹9 苷 3 because 32 苷 9. Now consider the expression 兹9. To find 兹9, we need to find a number c such that c 2 苷 9. However, the square of any real number c (except zero) is a positive number. Consequently, we must expand our concept of number to include numbers whose squares are negative numbers. Around the seventeenth century, a new number, called an imaginary number, was defined so that a negative number would have a square root. The letter i was chosen to represent the number whose square is 1. Definition of i

Math Matters It may seem strange to just invent new numbers, but that is how mathematics evolves. For instance, negative numbers were not an accepted part of mathematics until well into the thirteenth century. In fact, these numbers often were referred to as “fictitious numbers.” In the seventeenth century, Rene Descartes called square roots of negative numbers “imaginary numbers,” an unfortunate choice of words, and started using the letter i to denote these numbers. These numbers were subjected to the same skepticism as negative numbers. It is important to understand that these numbers are not imaginary in the dictionary sense of the word. This misleading word is similar to the situation of negative numbers being called fictitious. If you think of a number line, then the numbers to the right of zero are positive numbers and the numbers to the left of zero are negative numbers. One way to think of an imaginary number is to visualize it as up or down from zero. See the Project on page 342 for more information on this topic.

The imaginary unit, designated by the letter i, is the number such that i 2 苷 1.

The principal square root of a negative number is defined in terms of i. Definition of an Imaginary Number If a is a positive real number, then 兹a 苷 i兹a. The number i兹a is called an imaginary number. Example

兹36 苷 i兹36 苷 6i 兹23 苷 i兹23

兹18 苷 i兹18 苷 3i兹2 兹1 苷 i兹1 苷 i

It is customary to write i in front of a radical sign, as we did for i兹23, to avoid confusing 兹a i with 兹ai. Definition of a Complex Number A complex number is a number of the form a bi, where a and b are real numbers and i 苷兹1. The number a is the real part of a bi, and b is the imaginary part. Example

3 5i 2 6i 5 7i

• Real part: 3; imaginary part: 5 • Real part: 2; imaginary part: 6 • Real part: 5; imaginary part: 0 • Real part: 0; imaginary part: 7

Note from these examples that a real number is a complex number whose imaginary part is zero, and an imaginary number is a complex number whose real part is zero, and whose imaginary part is not zero.

The imaginary unit i is important in the field of electrical engineering. However, because the letter i is used by engineers as the symbol for electric current, these engineers use j for the complex unit.

Complex numbers a + bi

Real numbers a + 0i (b = 0)

Imaginary numbers 0 + bi (a = 0, b 0)

What are the real part and imaginary part of 3 5i?

Note from the diagram at the left that the set of real numbers is a subset of the complex numbers, and the set of imaginary numbers is a separate subset of the complex numbers. The set of real numbers and the set of imaginary numbers are disjoint sets. Example 1 illustrates how to write a complex number in the standard form a bi. EXAMPLE 1

Subtraction

共a bi兲共c di兲苷共a c兲共b d兲i

Basically, these definitions say that to add two complex numbers, add the real parts and add the imaginary parts. To subtract two complex numbers, subtract the real parts and subtract the imaginary parts. EXAMPLE 2

Multiplication of Complex Numbers When multiplying complex numbers, the term i 2 is frequently a part of the product. Recall that i 2 苷 1. Therefore, 3i共5i兲苷 15i 2 苷 15共1兲苷 15 2i共6i兲苷 12i 2 苷 12共1兲苷 12 4i共3 2i兲苷 12i 8i 2 苷 12i 8共1兲苷 8 12i

take note

When multiplying square roots of negative numbers, first rewrite the radical expressions using i. For instance,

Recall that the definition of the

兹6 兹24 苷 i兹6 i兹24 苷 i 2兹144 苷 1 12 苷 12

product of radical expressions requires that the radicand be a

positive number. Therefore, when

• 兹6 i 兹6, 兹24 苷 i 兹24

negative radicands, we first must

Note from this example that it would have been incorrect to multiply the radicands of the two radical expressions. To illustrate:

rewrite the expression using i and

兹6 兹24 苷兹共6兲共24兲

a positive radicand. QUESTION

What is the product of 兹2 and 兹8?

To multiply two complex numbers, we use the following definition. Definition of Multiplication of Complex Numbers If a bi and c di are complex numbers, then 共a bi兲共c di兲苷共ac bd兲共ad bc兲i

Because every complex number can be written as a sum of two terms, it is natural to perform multiplication on complex numbers in a manner consistent with the operation defined on binomials and the definition i 2 苷 1. By using this analogy, you can multiply complex numbers without memorizing the definition.

In a similar manner, to find the quotient of two complex numbers, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The complex numbers a bi and a bi are called complex conjugates or conjugates of each other. The conjugate of the complex number z is denoted by z. For instance, Recall that to simplify the quotient

The process is then repeated indefinitely. This recycling of outputs is called iteration, and each output is called an iterate.

Projects ARGAND DIAGRAM Just as we can graph a real number on a real number line, we can graph a complex number. This is accomplished by using one number line for the real part of the complex number and one number line for the imaginary part of the complex number. These two number lines are drawn perpendicular to each other and pass through their respective origins, as shown below. The result is called the complex plane or an Argand diagram after Jean-Robert Argand (1768–1822), an accountant and amateur mathematician. Although he is given credit for this representation of complex numbers, Caspar Wessel (1745–1818) actually conceived the idea before Argand. To graph the complex number 3 4i, start at 3 on the real axis. Now move 4 units up (for positive numbers move up; for negative numbers move down) and place a dot at that point, as shown in the diagram. The graphs of several other complex numbers are also shown.

EXAMPLE 1 Abraham de Moivre (1667–1754) was a French mathematician who fled to England during the expulsion of the Huguenots in 1685. De Moivre made important contributions to probability theory and analytic geometry. In 1718 he published The Doctrine of Chance, in which he developed the theory of annuities, mortality statistics, and the concept of statistical independence. In 1730 de Moivre stated the theorem shown above Example 1, which we now call De Moivre’s Theorem. This theorem is significant because it provides a connection between trigonometry and mathematical analysis. Although de Moivre was well respected in the mathematical community and was elected to the Royal Society of England, he never was able to secure a university teaching position. His income came mainly from tutoring, and he died in poverty. De Moivre is often remembered for predicting the day of his own death. At one point in his life, he noticed that he was sleeping a few minutes longer each night. Thus he calculated that he would die when he needed 24 hours of sleep. As it turned out, his calculation was correct.

Complex Numbers

Exploring Concepts with Technology The Mandelbrot Iteration Procedure The following procedure is called the Mandelbrot iteration procedure. Mandelbrot Iteration Procedure Choose a complex number z0. 1. Square z0 and add the reult to z0. 2. Square the preceding result and add it to z0. 3. Repeat step 2.

Applying the Mandelbrot iteration procedure to a complex number z0 generates a sequence of numbers z1, z2, z3, … . The numbers z1, z2, z3, … are called iterates. In this case, the iterates are generated using the complex function f共z兲苷 z2 z0. The number z0 is referred to as the seed or initial value. If you change the seed, a different sequence of iterates is generated. Some seeds generate iterates that grow without bound; some seeds generate iterates that approach a constant; and some seeds generate iterates that are cyclic. For instance: ■

Let z0 苷 1. Then z1 苷 12 1 苷 2, z2 苷 22 1 苷 5, z3 苷 52 1 苷 26, z4 苷 262 1 苷 677 In this case, the iterates grow larger and larger.

■

Let z0 苷 1. Then z1 苷 (1)2 (1) 苷 0, z2 苷 02 (1) 苷 1, z3 苷 (1)2 (1) 苷 0 In this case, the iterates cycle: 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, … .

■

Let z0 苷 0.25. Then z1 苷 0.252 0.25 苷 0.3125, z2 苷 0.31252 0.25 苷 0.34765625, z3 苷 0.347656252 0.25 ⬇ 0.3708648682 In this case, subsequent iterates can be calculated easily using a graphing calculator and the method shown below. Store the seed in Z. Press ENTER. 0.25→Z Store Z2 plus the seed in Z. Press Z2+0.25→Z ENTER to produce the next iterate.

.25 = Z0 .3125 .34765625 .3708648682 .3875407504

= Z1 = Z2 = Z3 = Z4

1. Use a graphing calculator to continue the above Mandelbrot iteration procedure, with z0 苷 0.25, to find z5, z10, z100, and z200. It can be shown that the sequence of iterates is approaching a constant. What constant do you think the sequence of iterates is approaching?

Summary

2. Let z0 苷 i. Use the Mandelbrot iterartion procedure to find z1, z2, z3, and z4. What happens as the iteration procedure progresses? The black region in Figure 5.11 is called the Mandelbrot set. The Mandelbrot set consists of all complex numbers for which the absolute value of each of their Mandelbrot iteration procedure iterates z1, z2, z3, ... is less than or equal to 2. 1.25

The T1-83/T1-83 Plus/T1-84 Plus program at the left graphs the top half of the Mandelbrot set. The bottom half of the Mandelbrot set is a reflection across the x-axis of the top half. See Figure 5.11 on page 357. The program uses the Mandelbrot iteration procedure, presented in the Exploring Concepts with Technology on page 356, to generate the iterates z1, z2, z3, … . In theory, a complex number z0 is defined to be an element of the Mandelbrot set if and only if the absolute value of each of its iterates is less than or equal to 2. In reality, a calculator or computer program cannot check an infinite number of iterates, but a fairly accurate graph can be produced by checking the first 24 iterates. If the program finds that the absolute values of the first 24 iterates of z0 are all less than or equal to 2, then the program assumes that z0 is an element of the Mandelbrot set and plots a point at z0 in the complex plane. If the program finds an iterate whose absolute value is greater than 2, then the program does not plot a point at z0. After the graph is produced, it is stored in memory, location Pic 2. You can recall the graph by pressing RecallPic 2. The RecallPic instruction is found in the DRAW STO menu.

The program step 24 l I sets the number of iterates to check. You can make the program run faster by using a natural number less than 24, but the graph will be less accurate. The graph will be slightly more accurate if you use a natural number larger than 24, but the program will run slower. QR2.

The study of the geometric figures called conic sections is one of the topics of this chapter. Each of these figures is formed by the intersection of a plane and a cone.1 Hyperbola The ancient Greeks were the first to study the conic sections. Their study was motivated by the many new and interesting mathematical concepts they were able to discover, without regard to finding or producing practical applications. The ancient Greeks would be surprised to learn that their study of the conic sections helped produce a body of knowledge with many practical applications in several diverse fields, including astronomy, architecture, engineering, and satellite communications. Exercise 55 on page 386 illustrates a medical application of conic sections, and Exercise 47 on page 373 illustrates an application of conic sections in the design of a ski with a parabolic sidecut.

Parabolas

The graph of a circle, an ellipse, a parabola, or a hyperbola can be formed by the intersection of a plane and a cone. Hence these figures are referred to as conic sections. See Figure 6.1.

Figure 6.1

If the intersection of a plane and a cone is a point, a line, or two intersecting lines, then the intersection is called a degenerate

conic section.

Cones intersected by planes

A plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone intersects the cone in a circle (plane C). The plane E, tilted so that it is not perpendicular to the axis, intersects the cone in an ellipse. When the plane is parallel to a line on the surface of the cone, the plane intersects the cone in a parabola. When the plane intersects both portions of the cone, a hyperbola is formed.

Parabolas with Vertex at (0, 0)

Math Matters Appollonius (262–200 B.C.) wrote an eight-volume treatise entitled On Conic Sections in which he derived the formulas for all the conic sections. He was the first to use the words parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola.

In addition to the geometric description of a conic section just given, a conic section can be defined as a set of points. This method uses specified conditions about a curve to determine which points in the coordinate system are points of the graph. For example, a parabola can be defined by the following set of points. Definition of a Parabola A parabola is the set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed line (the directrix) and a fixed point (the focus) not on the directrix.

Axis of symmetry

y

Focus x Directrix Vertex

Figure 6.2

The line that passes through the focus and is perpendicular to the directrix is called the axis of symmetry of the parabola. The midpoint of the line segment between the focus and directrix on the axis of symmetry is the vertex of the parabola, as shown in Figure 6.2. Using this definition of a parabola, we can determine an equation of a parabola. Suppose that the coordinates of the vertex of a parabola are V共0, 0兲 and the axis of symmetry is the y-axis. The equation of the directrix is y 苷 p, p 0. The focus lies on the axis of symmetry and is the same distance from the vertex as the vertex is from the directrix. Thus the coordinates of the focus are F共0, p兲, as shown in Figure 6.3.

A cross section of the reflecting mirror of a telescope has the shape of a parabola. The incoming parallel rays of light are reflected from the surface of the mirror to the eyepiece. See Figure 6.13. Flashlights and car headlights also make use of this reflective property. The light bulb is positioned at the focus of the parabolic reflector, which causes the reflected light to be reflected outward in parallel rays. See Figure 6.14.

When a parabola is revolved about its axis, it produces a three-dimensional surface called a paraboloid. The focus of a paraboloid is the same as the focus of the parabola that was revolved to generate the paraboloid. The vertex of a paraboloid is the same as the vertex of the parabola that was revolved to generate the paraboloid.

As was the case for a parabola, there is a definition for an ellipse in terms of a certain set of points in the plane.

Definition of an Ellipse An ellipse is the set of all points in the plane the sum of whose distances from two fixed points (foci) is a positive constant.

Equipped only with a piece of string and two tacks, we can use this definition to draw an ellipse (see Figure 6.18). Tack the ends of the string to the foci, and trace a curve with a pencil held tight against the string. The resulting curve is an ellipse. The positive constant mentioned in the definition of an ellipse is the length of the string. F1

Figure 6.18

Ellipses with Center at (0, 0) The graph of an ellipse has two axes of symmetry (see Figure 6.19). The longer axis is called the major axis. The foci of the ellipse are on the major axis. The shorter axis is called the minor axis. It is customary to denote the length of the major axis by 2a and the length of the minor axis by 2b. The center of the ellipse is the midpoint of the major axis. The endpoints of the major axis are the vertices (plural of vertex) of the ellipse. A semimajor axis of an ellipse is a line segment that connects the center point of the ellipse with a vertex. Its length is half the length of the major axis. A semiminor axis of an ellipse is a line segment that lies on the minor axis and connects the center point with a point on the ellipse. Its length is half the length of the minor axis.

Consider the point V2共a, 0兲, which is one vertex of an ellipse, and the points F2共c, 0兲 and F1共c, 0兲, which are the foci of the ellipse shown in Figure 6.20. The distance from V2 to F1 is a c. Similarly, the distance from V2 to F2 is a c. From the definition of an ellipse, the sum of the distances from any point on the ellipse to the foci is a positive constant. By adding the expressions a c and a c, we have

An ellipse with foci 共3, 0兲 and 共3, 0兲 and major axis of length 10 is shown in Figure 6.24. To find the equation of the ellipse in standard form, we must find a2 and b2. Because the foci are on the major axis, the major axis is on the x-axis. The length of the major axis is 2a. Thus 2a 苷 10. Solving for a, we have a 苷 5 and a2 苷 25. Because the foci are 共3, 0兲 and 共3, 0兲 and the center of the ellipse is the midpoint between the two foci, the distance from the center of the ellipse to a focus is 3. Therefore, c 苷 3.

Eccentricity of an Ellipse take note Eccentric literally means “out of the center.” Eccentricity is a measure of how much an ellipse is

unlike a set of points the same distance from the center. The higher the eccentricity, the more unlike a circle the ellipse is, and therefore the longer and thinner it

The graph of an ellipse can be very long and thin, or it can be much like a circle. The eccentricity of an ellipse is a measure of its “roundness.” Eccentricity (e) of an Ellipse The eccentricity e of an ellipse is the ratio of c to a, where c is the distance from the center to a focus and a is one-half the length of the major axis.

The terms perihelion and aphelion are used to denote the position of a planet in its orbit around the sun. The perihelion is the point nearest the sun; the aphelion is the point farthest from the sun. See Figure 6.32. The length of the semimajor axis of a planet’s elliptical orbit is called the mean distance of the planet from the sun.

Sound waves, although different from light waves, have a similar reflective property. When sound is reflected from a point P on a surface, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Applying this principle to a room with an elliptical ceiling results in what are called whispering galleries. These galleries are based on the following theorem.

The reflective property of an ellipse can be used to show that sound waves, or light waves, that emanate from one focus of an ellipse will be reflected to the other focus. The Statuary Hall in the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., is a whispering gallery. A person standing at one focus of the elliptical ceiling can whisper and be heard by a person standing at the other focus. John Quincy Adams, while a member of the House of Representatives, was aware of this acoustical phenomenon. He situated his desk at a focus of the elliptical ceiling, which allowed him to eavesdrop on the conversations of his political adversaries, who were located near the other focus.

A hyperbola is a conic section formed when a plane intersects a right circular cone at a certain angle. If b is the angle at which the plane intersects the axis of the cone and a is the angle shown in Figure 6.35, a hyperbola is formed when 0 b a or when the plane is parallel to the axis of the cone. As with the other conic sections, there is a definition of a hyperbola in terms of a certain set of points in the plane.

Definition of a Hyperbola A hyperbola is the set of all points in the plane the difference between whose distances from two fixed points (foci) is a positive constant.

Degenerate hyperbola

This definition differs from that of an ellipse in that the ellipse was defined in terms of the sum of two distances, whereas the hyperbola is defined in terms of the difference of two distances.

The transverse axis of a hyperbola shown in Figure 6.36 is the line segment joining the intercepts. The midpoint of the transverse axis is called the center of the hyperbola. The conjugate axis is a line segment that passes through the center of the hyperbola and is perpendicular to the transverse axis. The length of the transverse axis is customarily represented as 2a, and the distance between the two foci is represented as 2c. The length of the conjugate axis is represented as 2b. The vertices of a hyperbola are the points where the hyperbola intersects the transverse axis. To determine the positive constant stated in the definition of a hyperbola, consider the point V1共a, 0兲, which is one vertex of a hyperbola, and the points F1共c, 0兲 and F2共c, 0兲, which are the foci of the hyperbola (see Figure 6.37). The difference between the distance from V1共a, 0兲 to F1共c, 0兲, c a, and the distance from V1共a, 0兲 to F2共c, 0兲, c a, must be a constant. By subtracting these distances, we find 兩共c a兲共c a兲兩苷兩2a兩苷 2a

Other comets have hyperbolic orbits with the sun at a focus. These comets pass by the sun only once. The velocity of a comet determines whether its orbit is elliptical or hyperbolic. Caroline Herschel (1750–1848) became interested in mathematics and astronomy after her brother William discovered the planet Uranus. She was the first woman to receive credit for the discovery of a comet. In fact, between 1786 and 1797, she discovered eight comets. In 1828 she completed a catalog of over 2000 nebulae, a feat for which the Royal Astronomical Society of England presented her with its prestigious gold medal.

Hyperbolas as an Aid to Navigation Consider two radio transmitters, T1 and T2 , placed some distance apart. A ship with electronic equipment measures the difference between the times it takes signals from the transmitters to reach the ship. Because the difference between the times is proportional to the difference between the distances of the ship from the transmitters, the ship must be located on the hyperbola with foci at the two transmitters. Using a third transmitter, T3, we can find a second hyperbola with foci T2 and T3. The ship lies on the intersection of the two hyperbolas, as shown in Figure 6.49.

The Rotation Theorem for Conics The equation of a conic with axes parallel to the coordinate axes can be written in a general form. General Equation of a Conic with Axes Parallel to Coordinate Axes The general equation of a conic with axes parallel to the coordinate axes and not both A and C equal to zero is Ax 2 Cy 2 Dx Ey F 苷 0 The graph of the equation is a parabola when AC 苷 0, an ellipse when AC 0, and a hyperbola when AC 0.

The terms Dx, Ey, and F determine the translation of the conic from the origin. The general equation of a conic is a second-degree equation in two variables. A more general second-degree equation can be written that contains a Bxy term.

take note Some choices of the constants A,

A rotation of axes is a rotation of the x- and y-axes about the origin to another position denoted by x and y . We denote the measure of the angle of rotation by a. Let P be some point in the plane, and let r represent the distance of P from the origin. The coordinates of P relative to the xy-coordinate system and the x y -coordinate system are P共x, y兲 and P共x , y 兲, respectively. Let Q共x, 0兲 and R共0, y兲 be the projections of P onto the x- and the y-axis and let Q 共x , 0 兲 and R 共0 , y 兲 be the projections of P onto the x - and the y -axis. (See Figure 6.52.)

This proves the equations labeled (1) of the following theorem. Rotation-of-Axes Formulas Suppose that an xy-coordinate system and an x y -coordinate system have the same origin and that a is the angle between the positive x-axis and the positive x -axis.

The derivations of the formulas for x and y are left as an exercise. As we have noted, the appearance of the Bxy 共B 苷 0兲 term in the general second-degree equation indicates that the graph of the conic has been rotated. The angle through which the axes have been rotated can be determined from the following theorem.

Until now, we have used a rectangular coordinate system to locate a point in the coordinate plane. An alternative method is to use a polar coordinate system, wherein a point is located by giving a distance from a fixed point and an angle from some fixed direction. A polar coordinate system is formed by drawing a horizontal ray. The ray is called the polar axis, and the initial point of the ray is called the pole. A point P共r, u兲 in the plane is located by specifying a distance r from the pole and an angle u measured from the polar axis to the line segment OP. The angle can be measured in degrees or radians. See Figure 6.59. The coordinates of the pole are 共0, u兲, where u is an arbitrary angle. Positive angles are measured counterclockwise from the polar axis. Negative angles are measured clockwise from the axis. Positive values of r are measured along the ray that makes an angle of u from the polar axis. Negative values of r are measured along the ray that makes an angle of u 180 from the polar axis. See Figures 6.60 and 6.61. In a rectangular coordinate system, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the points in the plane and the ordered pairs 共x, y兲. This is not true for a polar coordinate system. For polar coordinates, the relationship is one-to-many. Infinitely many ordered-pair descriptions correspond to each point P共r, u兲 in a polar coordinate system. For example, consider a point whose coordinates are P共3, 45 兲. Because there are 360° in one complete revolution around a circle, the point P also could be written as 共3, 405 兲, as 共3, 765 兲, as 共3, 1125 兲, and generally as 共3, 45 n 360 兲, where n is an integer. It is also possible to describe the point P共3, 45 兲 by 共3, 225 兲, 共3, 135 兲, and 共3, 315 兲, to name just a few options.

Symmetry with respect to the line u 苷 0

Topics in Analytic Geometry Suppose that whenever the ordered pair 共r, u兲 lies on the graph of a polar equation, 共r, u兲 also lies on the graph. From Figure 6.65, the graph will have symmetry with respect to the line u 苷 0. Thus one test for symmetry is to replace u by u in the polar equation. If the resulting equation is equivalent to the original equation, the graph is symmetric with respect to the line u 苷 0. Table 6.2 shows the types of symmetry and their associated tests. For each type, if the recommended substitution results in an equivalent equation, the graph will have the indicated symmetry. Figure 6.66 illustrates the tests for symmetry p with respect to the line u 苷 and for symmetry with respect to the pole. 2

The graph of a polar equation may have a type of symmetry even though a test for that symmetry fails. For example, as we will see later, the graph of r 苷 sin 2u is symmetric with respect to the line u 苷 0. However, using the symmetry test of substituting u for u, we have sin 2共u兲苷 sin 2u 苷 r 苷 r Thus this test fails to show symmetry with respect to the line u 苷 0. The symmetry test of substituting p u for u and r for r establishes symmetry with respect to the line u 苷 0.

Because replacing u by u results in the original equation r 苷 4 cos u, the graph is symmetric with respect to the line u 苷 0. To graph the equation, begin choosing various values of u and finding the corresponding values of r. However, before doing so, consider two further observations that will reduce the number of u-values you must choose. First, because the cosine function is a periodic function with period 2p, it is only necessary to choose u-values between 0 and 2p (0° and 360°). Second, p 3p when u , cos u is negative, which means that any u between 2 2 these values will produce a negative r. Thus the point will be in the first or fourth quadrant. That is, we need consider only angles u in the first or fourth quadrants. However, because the graph is symmetric with respect to p the line u 苷 0, it is only necessary to choose values of u between 0 and . 2

When using a graphing utility in polar mode, choose the value of ustep carefully. If ustep is set too small, the graphing utility may require an excessively long period of time to complete the graph. If ustep is set too large, the resulting graph may give only a very rough approximation of the actual graph.

From the general equation of a rose curve r 苷 a cos nu, with a 苷 4 and n 苷 2, we know that the graph will be a rose curve with 2n 苷 4 petals. The very tip of each petal will be a 苷 4 units away from the pole. Our symmetry tests also indicate that the graph is symmetric with respect to the line u 苷 0, p the line u 苷 , and the pole. 2 Use polar mode with angle measure in radians. Enter the equation r 苷 4 cos 2u in the polar function editing menu. The graph in Figure 6.74 was produced with a TI-84 by using the following window: u min=0 u max=2π u step=0.1

A transformation between coordinate systems is a set of equations that relate the coordinates of a point in one system with the coordinates of the point in a second system. By superimposing a rectangular coordinate system on a polar system, we can derive the set of transformation equations. Construct a polar coordinate system and a rectangular system such that the pole coincides with the origin and the polar axis coincides with the positive x-axis. Let a point P have coordinates 共x, y兲 in one system and 共r, u兲 in the other 共r 0兲. From the definitions of sin u and cos u, we have

Parametric Equations The graph of a function is a graph for which no vertical line can intersect the graph more than once. For a graph that is not the graph of a function (an ellipse or a hyperbola, for example), it is frequently useful to describe the graph by parametric equations.

Eliminate the parameter and sketch the curve of the parametric equations x 苷 sin t,

A parametric representation of a curve is not unique. That is, it is possible that a curve may be given by many different pairs of parametric equations.

By the pointslope formula, the equation of the line is y y1 苷 m共x x1 兲 Let t 苷 x x1 . Then y y1 苷 mt. A parametric representation is x 苷 x1 t,

As t takes on values from 2 to 3, the curve defined by the parametric equations is traced in a particular direction. The direction in which the curve is traced—by increasing values of the parameter t—is referred to as its orientation. In Figure 6.86 the arrowheads show the orientation of the curve. In Example 4 we let the parameter t represent time. Then the parametric equations x 苷 f(t) and y 苷 g(t) indicate the x- and y-coordinates of a moving point as a function of t. EXAMPLE 4

The Brachistochrone Problem

Figure 6.88

One famous problem, involving a bead traveling down a frictionless wire, was posed in 1696 by the mathematician Johann Bernoulli. The problem was to determine the shape of a wire a bead could slide down such that the distance between two points was traveled in the shortest time. Problems that involve “shortest time” are called brachistochrone problems. They are very important in physics and form the basis for much of the classical theory of light propagation. The answer to Bernoulli’s problem is an arc of an inverted cycloid. See Figure 6.88. A cycloid is formed by letting a circle of radius a roll on a straight line without slipping. See Figure 6.89. The curve traced by a point on the circumference of the circle is a cycloid. To find an equation for this curve, begin by placing

Chapter 6

where C共h, k兲 is the current center of the circle. Because the radius of the circle is a, k 苷 a. See Figure 6.89. Because the circle rolls without slipping, the arc length subtended by u equals h. Thus h 苷 au. Substituting for h and k in Equations (4), we have, after factoring, x 苷 a共u sin u兲,

During the 1950s, Felix Wankel (1902–1988) developed a rotary engine. The engine has several remarkable properties. • A triangular rotor2 (see Figure 6.96) rotates inside a chamber in a manner such that all three vertices of the rotor maintain constant contact with the chamber. • As the rotor rotates, the centroid (center) of the rotor moves on a circular path.

• Every time the rotor makes one complete revolution, the centroid makes three complete revolutions around its circular path. The graph of the parametric equations x 苷 3 cosT 0.5 cos(3T),

where T is the counterclockwise angle of rotation as measured from the positive x-axis, yields the curve shown in Figure 6.97 on page 448. The curve has the same shape as the chamber of a rotary engine. The following TI-83/TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus program WANKEL simulates the motion of the rotor in a rotary engine. 2The

actual rotor used in a rotary engine is a modified equilateral triangle with curved sides, as shown in Figure 6.96.

Felix Wankel designed the shape of the chamber of his rotary engine using trial and error. He did not know that mathematicians had made a study of this figure many years before by graphing the path that is traced out by a point on the radius of a circle that rolls around another circle. For example, Figure 6.98 shows a circle rolling around a larger circle. Point B, the midpoint of radius AC of the small circle, generates curve E as the small circle is rolled around the larger circle. Curve E is called an epitrochoid. The following TI-83/TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus program EPIT simulates the process of generating an epitrochoid by rolling a small circle around a larger circle and plotting the trace of the midpoint of a radius of the smaller circle (point B in Figure 6.98).

Construct a two-dimensional model of a rotary engine. Demonstrate to your classmates how the rotor revolves inside the epitrochoid chamber. One method for constructing the model is to use thick cardboard from which you cut out an epitrochoid. To generate the epitrochoid, use a computer to print a large graph of the parametric equations given in (1).

This observation is known as Moore’s Law. Table 7.1 below shows how the maximum number of transistors on various Intel processors has changed over time. (Source: Intel Museum home page.) The curve that approximately passes through the points is a mathematical model of the data. See Figure 7.1. The model is based on an exponential function.

The Natural Exponential Function

Math Matters

The irrational number p is often used in applications that involve circles. Another irrational number, denoted by the letter e, is useful in many applications that involve growth or decay. Definition of e

Leonhard Euler (1707–1783)

Some mathematicians consider Euler to be the greatest mathematician of all time. He certainly was the most prolific writer of mathematics of all time. He made substantial contributions in the areas of number theory, geometry, calculus, differential equations, differential geometry, topology, complex variables, and analysis, to name but a few. Euler was the first to introduce many of the mathematical notations that we use today. For instance, he introduced the symbol i for the square root of 1, the symbol for pi, the functional notation f 共x兲, and the letter e for the base of the natural exponential function. Euler’s computational skills were truly amazing. The mathematician Franc᝺ois Arago remarked, “Euler calculated without apparent effort, as men breathe, or as eagles sustain themselves in the wind.”

The number e is defined as the number that 1 n 1 n

冉冊

approaches as n increases without bound.

The letter e was chosen in honor of the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. He was able to compute the value of e to several decimal places by evaluating 1 n for large values of n, as shown in Table 7.5. 1 n

Calculus Connection

For all real numbers x, the function defined by f共x兲苷 e x is called the natural exponential function.

A calculator can be used to evaluate e x for specific values of x. For instance, e 2 ⬇ 7.389056, e 3.5 ⬇ 33.115452, and e1.4 ⬇ 0.246597 On a TI-83/TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus calculator the e x function is located above the LN key.

Integrating Technology

To graph f共x兲苷 e x, use a calculator to find the range values for a few domain values. The range values in Table 7.6 have been rounded to the nearest tenth.

PHOTOCHROMATIC EYEGLASS LENSES Photochromatic eyeglass lenses contain molecules of silver chloride or silver halide. These molecules are transparent in the absence of UV rays. UV rays are normally absent in artificial lighting. However, when the lenses are exposed to UV rays, as in direct sunlight, the molecules take on a new molecular structure, which causes the lenses to darken. The number of molecules affected varies with the intensity of the UV rays. The intensity of UV rays is measured using a scale called the UV index. On this scale, a value near 0 indicates a low UV intensity and a value near 10 indicates a high UV intensity.

AN EXPONENTIAL REWARD According to legend, when Sissa Ben Dahir of India invented the game of chess, King Shirham was so impressed with the game that he summoned the game’s inventor and offered him the reward of his choosing. The inventor pointed to the chessboard and requested, for his reward, one grain of wheat on the first square, two grains of wheat on the second square, four grains on the third square, eight grains on the fourth square, and so on for all 64 squares on the chessboard. The king considered this a very modest reward and said he would grant the inventor’s wish.

Logarithmic Functions Every exponential function of the form g共x兲苷 b x is a one-to-one function and therefore has an inverse function. Sometimes we can determine the inverse of a function represented by an equation by interchanging the variables of its equation and then solving for the dependent variable. If we attempt to use this procedure for g共x兲苷 b x, we obtain

• Interchange the variables.

None of our previous methods can be used to solve the equation x 苷 b y for the exponent y. Thus we need to develop a new procedure. One method would be to merely write y 苷 the power of b that produces x Although this would work, it is not very concise. We need a compact notation to represent “y is the power of b that produces x.” This more compact notation is given in the following definition.

Logarithms were developed by John Napier (1550–1617) as a means of simplifying the calculations of astronomers. One of his ideas was to devise a method by which the product of two numbers could be determined by performing an addition.

Definition of a Logarithm and a Logarithmic Function If x 0 and b is a positive constant 共b 苷 1兲, then y 苷 logb x if and only if by 苷 x The notation logb x is read “the logarithm (or log) base b of x.” The function defined by f共x兲苷 logb x is a logarithmic function with base b.

ASTRONOMY Astronomers measure the apparent brightness of a star by a unit called the apparent magnitude. This unit was created in the second century B.C. when the Greek astronomer Hipparchus classified the relative brightness of several stars. In his list he assigned the number 1 to the stars that appeared to be the brightest (Sirius, Vega, and Deneb). They are

The following table shows the relationship between a star’s brightness relative to a firstmagnitude star and the star’s apparent magnitude. Notice from the table that a first-magnitude star appears to be about 2.51 times as bright as a second-magnitude star.

BENFORD’S LAW The authors of this text know some interesting details about your finances. For instance, of the last 150 checks you have written, about 30% are for amounts that start with the number 1. Also, you have written about 3 times as many checks for amounts that start with the number 2 as you have for amounts that start with the number 7. We are sure of these results because of a mathematical formula known as Benford’s Law. This law was first discovered by the mathematician Simon Newcomb in 1881 and then rediscovered by the physicist Frank Benford in 1938. Benford’s Law states that the probability P that the first digit of a number selected from a wide range of numbers is d is given by

Use the table in a. to find the probability that in a U.S. city selected at random, the number of telephones in that city will be a number starting with 6. c. Use the table in a. to estimate how many times as many purchases you have made for dollar amounts that start with a 1 than for dollar amounts that start with a 9. d.

Explain why Benford’s Law would not apply to the set of all the ages, in years, of students at a local high school.

AN APPLICATION OF BENFORD’S LAW Benford’s Law has been used to identify fraudulent accountants. In most cases these accountants are unaware of Benford’s Law and have replaced valid numbers with numbers selected at random. Their numbers do not conform to Benford’s Law. Hence an audit is warranted.

The quotient property and the power property can be proved in a similar manner. See Exercises 87 and 88 on page 492. The properties of logarithms are often used to rewrite logarithmic expressions in an equivalent form. The process of using the product or quotient rules to rewrite a single logarithm as the sum or difference of two or more logarithms, or using the power property to rewrite logb共M p 兲 in its equivalent form p logb M, is called expanding the logarithmic expression.

The following procedure can be used to produce an estimate of log3 50. The exponential form of log3 50 苷 y is 3 y 苷 50.

In the above procedure we could just as well have used logarithms of any base and arrived at the same value. Thus any logarithm can be expressed in terms of logarithms of any base we wish. This general result is summarized in the following formula.

Logarithmic Scales Logarithmic functions are often used to scale very large (or very small) numbers into numbers that are easier to comprehend. For instance, the Richter scale magnitude of an earthquake uses a logarithmic function to convert the intensity of the earthquake’s shock waves I into a number M, which for most earthquakes is in the range of 0 to 10. The intensity I of an earthquake is often given in terms of the constant I0, where I0 is the intensity of the smallest earthquake (called a zero-level earthquake) that can be measured on a seismograph near the earthquake’s epicenter. The following formula is used to compute the Richter scale magnitude of an earthquake.

Math Matters The Richter scale was created by the seismologist Charles F. Richter in 1935. Notice that a tenfold increase in the intensity level of an earthquake increases the Richter scale magnitude of the earthquake by only 1.

The Richter Scale Magnitude of an Earthquake An earthquake with an intensity of I has a Richter scale magnitude of I M 苷 log I0 where I0 is the measure of the intensity of a zero-level earthquake.

Seismologists generally determine the Richter scale magnitude of an earthquake by examining a seismogram. See Figure 7.22. Arrival of first s-wave Arrival of first p-wave

Amplitude = 23 mm

24 seconds Time between s-wave and p-wave

Figure 7.22

The magnitude of an earthquake cannot be determined just by examining the amplitude of a seismogram because this amplitude decreases as the distance between the epicenter of the earthquake and the observation station increases. To account for the distance between the epicenter and the observation station, a seismologist examines a seismogram for both small waves called p-waves and larger waves called s-waves. The Richter scale magnitude M of the earthquake is a function of both the amplitude A of the s-waves and the difference in time t between the occurrence of the s-waves and the occurrence of the p-waves. In the 1950s, Charles Richter developed the following formula to determine the magnitude of an earthquake from the data in a seismogram.

Logarithmic scales are also used in chemistry. One example concerns the pH of a liquid, which is a measure of the liquid’s acidity or alkalinity. (You may have tested the pH of the water in a swimming pool or an aquarium.) Pure water, which is considered neutral, has a pH of 7.0. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 0 corresponding to the most acidic solutions and 14 to the most alkaline. Lemon juice has a pH of about 2, whereas household ammonia measures about 11. Specifically, the pH of a solution is a function of the hydronium-ion concentration of the solution. Because the hydronium-ion concentration of a solution can be very small (with values such as 0.00000001), pH uses a logarithmic scale.

Figure 7.23 illustrates the pH scale, along with the corresponding hydroniumion concentrations. A solution on the left half of the scale, with a pH of less than 7, is an acid, and a solution on the right half of the scale is an alkaline solution or a base. Because the scale is logarithmic, a solution with a pH of 5 is 10 times more acidic than a solution with a pH of 6. From Example 9 we see that the orange juice, rainwater, and milk are acids, whereas the baking soda solution is a base.

89. NOMOGRAMS AND LOGARITHMIC SCALES A nomogram is a diagram used to determine a numerical result by drawing a line across numerical scales. The following nomogram, used by Richter, determines the magnitude of an earthquake from its seismogram. To use the nomogram, mark the amplitude of a seismogram on the amplitude scale and mark the time between the s-wave and the p-wave on the S-P scale. Draw a line between these marks. The Richter scale magnitude of the earthquake that produced the seismogram is shown by the intersection of the line and the center scale. The nomogram on the right shows that an earthquake with a seismogram amplitude of 23 millimeters and an S-P time of 24 seconds has a Richter scale magnitude of about 5. The amplitude and the S-P time are shown on logarithmic scales. On the amplitude scale, the distance from 1 to 10 is the same as the distance from 10 to 100, because log 100 log 10 苷 log 10 log 1.

If you find it difficult to write both sides of an exponential equation in terms of the same base, then try the procedure of taking the logarithm of each side of the equation. This procedure is used in Example 2.

In these applications, the amount present at time t is given by a special function called an exponential growth function or an exponential decay function. Definition of Exponential Growth and Decay Functions If a quantity N increases or decreases at a rate proportional to the amount present at time t, then the quantity can be modeled by N共t兲苷 N0 e kt where N0 is the value of N at time t 苷 0, and k is a constant called the growth rate constant. ■

If k is positive, N increases as t increases and N共t兲苷 N0 e kt is called an exponential growth function. See Figure 7.27.

If k is negative, N decreases as t increases and N共t兲苷 N0 e kt is called an exponential decay function. See Figure 7.28. N

Is N共t兲苷 1450e0.05t an exponential growth function or an exponential decay function?

In Example 1 we find an exponential growth function that models the population growth of a city. EXAMPLE 1

Find the Exponential Growth Function That Models Population Growth

a.

The population of a city is growing exponentially. The population of the city was 16,400 in 1995 and 20,200 in 2005. Find the exponential growth function that models the population growth of the city.

b.

Use the function from a. to predict, to the nearest 100, the population of the city in 2010.

Solution We need to determine N0 and k in N共t兲苷 N0 e kt. If we represent the year 1995 by t 苷 0, then our given data are N共0兲苷 16,400 and N共10兲苷 20,200. Because N0 is defined to be N共0兲, we know that N0 苷 16,400. To determine k, substitute t 苷 10 and N0 苷 16,400 into N共t兲苷 N0 e kt to produce

• Solve for k.

0.0208 ⬇ k The exponential growth function is N共t兲 ⬇ 16,400e0.0208t. The year 1995 was represented by t 苷 0, so we will use t 苷 15 to represent the year 2010.

The exponential growth function yields 22,400 as the approximate population of the city in 2010.

Find an Exponential Decay Function

Find the exponential decay function for the amount of phosphorus (32P) that remains in a sample after t days.

Solution

take note

When t 苷 0, N共0兲苷 N0e k共0兲苷 N0. Thus N共0兲苷 N0. Also, because the phosphorus has a half-life of 14 days (from Table 7.11), N共14兲苷 0.5N0. To find k, substitute t 苷 14 into N共t兲苷 N0e kt and solve for k.

Because e0.0495 ⬇ 共0.5兲1/14, the decay function N共t兲苷 N0e0.0495t can also be written as N共t兲苷 N0共0.5兲t/14. In this form it is

The bone tissue in all living animals contains both carbon-12, which is nonradioactive, and carbon-14, which is radioactive with a half-life of approximately 5730 years. See Figure 7.29. As long as the animal is alive, the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 remains constant. When the animal dies 共t 苷 0兲, the carbon-14 begins to decay. Thus a bone that has a smaller ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 is older than a bone that has a larger ratio. The percent of carbon-14 present at time t is P共t兲苷 0.5t/5730

Compound Interest Formulas Interest is money paid for the use of money. The interest I is called simple interest

if it is a fixed percent r, per time period t, of the amount of money invested. The amount of money invested is called the principal P. Simple interest is computed using the formula I 苷 Prt. For example, if $1000 is invested at 12% for 3 years, the simple interest is I 苷 Prt 苷 $1000共0.12兲共3兲苷 $360 The balance after t years is A 苷 P I 苷 P Prt. In the preceding example, the $1000 invested for 3 years produced $360 interest. Thus the balance after 3 years is $1000 $360 苷 $1360. In many financial transactions, interest is added to the principal at regular intervals so that interest is paid on interest as well as on the principal. Interest earned in this manner is called compound interest. For example, if $1000 is invested at 12% annual interest compounded annually for 3 years, then the total interest after 3 years is First-year interest Second-year interest Third-year interest

$1000共0.12兲苷 $120.00 $1120共0.12兲苷 $134.40 $1254.40共0.12兲 ⬇ $150.53 $404.93

This method of computing the balance can be tedious and time-consuming. A compound interest formula that can be used to determine the balance due after t years of compounding can be developed as follows.

Here is a summary of the modeling process. The Modeling Process Use a graphing utility to: 1. Construct a scatter plot of the data to determine which type of function will effectively model the data. 2.

Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Guidelines for Selecting a Modeling Function 1. Use a graphing utility to construct a scatter plot of the data. 2. Compare the graphical features of the scatter plot with the graphical features of the basic modeling functions available on the graphing utility: linear, quadratic, cubic, exponential, logarithmic, or logistic. Pay particular attention to the concave nature of each function. Eliminate those functions that do not display the desired concavity. 3. Use the graphing utility to find the equation of each type of function you identified in Step 2 as a possible model. 4.

take note When you use a graphing utility to find a logarithmic model, remember that the domain of y 苷 a b ln x is the set of positive numbers. Thus zero must not be used as an x value of a data point. This is the reason we have used x 1 to represent the year 1960 in Example 3.

Find a function to model the data, and use the function to predict the winning time in the women’s Olympic 100-meter freestyle event for the year 2012.

Modeling Data with Exponential and Logarithmic Functions consider a decreasing exponential function and a decreasing logarithmic function as possible models. Use a graphing utility to find the exponential regression function and the logarithmic regression function for the data. See Figures 7.39 and 7.40.

ExpReg y=a*b^x a=60.85756911 b=.988350233 r2=.849501015 r=-.921683794

LnReg y=a+blnx a=61.93339969 b= -3.292644718 r2=.898941686 r= -.948125353

Figure 7.39

Figure 7.40

The exponential function is y ⬇ 60.85757(0.98835)x and the logarithmic function is y ⬇ 61.93340 3.29264 ln x. The coefficient of determination r 2 for the logarithmic regression is larger than the coefficient of determination for the exponential regression. See Figures 7.39 and 7.40. Thus the logarithmic regression function provides a better fit to the data than the exponential regression function. The correlation coefficients r can also be used to determine which function provides the better fit. For decreasing functions, the function with correlation coefficient closest to 1 provides the better fit.

Notice that the graph of the logarithmic function has the desired behavior to the right of the scatter plot. That is, it is a gradually decreasing curve, and this is the general behavior we would expect for future winning times in the 100-meter freestyle event. The graph of the exponential function is almost linear and is decreasing at a rapid pace, which is not what we would expect for results in an established Olympic event. See Figure 7.41. Thus we select the logarithmic function as our modeling function.

To predict the winning time for this event in the year 2012 (represented by x 苷 14), substitute 14 for x in the equation of the logarithmic function or use the VALUE command in the CALCULATE menu to produce the approximate time of 53.24 seconds, as shown in Figure 7.42.

Find a logistic model that approximates the deer population as a function of the year. Use the model to predict the deer population in the year 2010.

Solution

Integrating Technology On a TI-83/TI-83 Plus/ TI-84 Plus graphing calculator, the logistic growth model is given in the form y苷

c 1 aebx

Think of the variable x as the time t and the variable y as P共t兲.

1. Construct a scatter plot of the data. Enter the data into a graphing utility, and then use the utility to display a scatter plot of the data. In this example we represent the year 1990 by x 苷 0, the year 2004 by x 苷 14, and the deer population by y. Figure 7.43 shows that the data can be closely approximated by a logistic growth model. 2. Find the equation of the model. On a TI-83/TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus graphing calculator, select B: Logistic, which is in the STAT CALC menu. The logistic function for the data is 3965.3 y⬇ . See Figure 7.44. 1 11.445e0.31152x

3. Examine the fit. A TI-83/TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus calculator does not compute the coefficient of determination or the correlation coefficient for a logistic model. However, Figure 7.45 shows that the logistic model provides a good fit to the data. The VALUE command in the CALCULATE menu shows that the logistic model predicts a deer population of about 3878 in the year 2010 (x 苷 20). See Figure 7.46.

Consider the data in Table 7.16, which shows the viscosity V of SAE 40 motor oil at various temperatures T in degrees Fahrenheit. The graph of these data is shown below, along with a curve that passes through the points. The graph in Figure 7.47 appears to have the shape of an exponential decay model. One way to determine whether the graph in Figure 7.47 is the graph of an exponential function is to plot the data on semilog graph paper. On this graph paper, the horizontal axis remains the same, but the vertical axis uses a logarithmic scale. The data in Table 7.16 are graphed again in Figure 7.48, but this time the vertical axis is a natural logarithm axis. This graph is approximately a straight line.

The difference in graphing strategies between Exercise 1 and Exercise 2 is that in Exercise 1, semilog paper was used. When a point is graphed on this coordinate paper, the y-coordinate is ln y. In Exercise 2, graphing a point 共x, ln y兲 in a rectangular coordinate system has the same effect as graphing 共x, y兲 in a semilog coordinate system.
